In high level endurance competition, 10-20% of the athletes suffer from claudication symptoms. The underlying causes can be intravascular lesion such as endofibrosis, or functional lesions such as kinking and/or excessive length of vessel. We discuss a...

Ankle and arm pressure recordings for the diagnosis of exercise-induced arterial endofibrosis
BACKGROUND: Measurement of ankle and brachial blood pressure after maximal exercise is largely used to diagnose exercise‑induced arterial endofibrosis (EIAE). AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: We aimed to compare the different available methods and combination of...
-
BACKGROUND: This study is to assess the applicability and performance of the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the diagnosis of exercise-induced arterial endofibrosis (EIAE). METHODS: NIRS was measured on each thigh, in 12 highly trained...

Diagnosis and Management of Iliac Artery Endofibrosis: Results of a Delphi Consensus Study
Objective: Iliac endofibrosis is a rare condition that may result in a reduction of blood flow to the lower extremity in young, otherwise healthy individuals. The data to inform everyday clinical management are weak and therefore a Delphi consensus...

Simultaneous arterial pressure recordings improve the detection of endofibrosis
Purpose: Exercise improves the diagnostic performance of ankle-to-brachial index (ABI) in the detection of exercise-induced arterial endofibrosis (EIAE). Pressure values for all four limbs are required to calculate ABI, but rapid systemic pressure...
-
Purpose: This study defined how ankle arterial blood pressure measurements should be analyzed for the detection of moderate arterial disease (asymptomatic while walking). We used external iliac artery endofibrosis as a unique model of an isolated...

External Iliac Artery Endofibrosis in a Young Cyclist
An 18-year-old cyclist was referred to the laboratory for unexplained pain in his left lower limb during exercise. He had started competition at 14 years of age and had cycled ≈10 000 km/y in the preceding 5 years. He had complained for 18 months of a...
