Peripheral Arterial Thromboembolic Disorders
Published in Hau C. Kwaan, Meyer M. Samama, Clinical Thrombosis, 2019
According to Strigl,1 the dorsalis pedis pulse is normally absent in 28% (not grown out during embryonic development). Therefore, a nonpalpable dorsalis pedis artery in a patient displaying, with the exception of this, an unaltered vascular status must not be falsely interpreted as a dorsalis pedis artery occlusion. On the other hand, a well-palpable dorsalis pedis artery indicates the absence of gross femoral or iliac artery obstruction.
Arterial blood pressure

Although the ulnar artery is usually of larger diameter, it is relatively inaccessible percutaneously compared to the radial artery. The dorsalis pedis artery, although popular for pediatric patients and easily accessible during neurosurgical cases, should be avoided in patients with peripheral vascular disease.
The Stomach (ST)

Dorsalis pedis artery: Supplies the muscles on the dorsum of the foot. The dorsalis pedis artery pierces the first dorsal interosseous muscle and becomes the deep plantar artery, which becomes part of the plantar arterial arch.

For the biomimetic electrical stimulation therapy, the PHENIX-8 neuromuscular stimulation therapeutic apparatus (Guangzhou Shanshan medical apparatus and instruments industry Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, China) was used. In the follicular phase (2–3 days after menstruation finished), the electrode sheet (50 × 50 mm) was attached to the abdominal aorta area below the navel, and the back electrode was placed and aligned with the front one. The dorsal pedis artery and the inguinal artery on one side of the lower extremity were grouped together; the foot was connected to the positive electrode, the groin was connected to the negative electrode, and the other lower extremity was connected in the same way. Appropriate bioelectrical stimulation was given to the patient according to her comfort. The first stage was hemodynamic activation for 20 min, and the second stage was electrodynamic acceleration for 20 min, for a total of 40 min. The treatment was applied every other day, and it could be applied three or five times per cycle. The patient’s age, duration of the disease, and treatment outcome were collected.

To ensure that the vascularity of the flap was provided by the paraneural vessels, and the subcutaneous layer was nourished by neurocutaneous perforators that received blood supply from the perforating branches of the dorsalis pedis artery, the proximally based SPNC flap was harvested before methylene blue injection. The deep fascia was included while the paratenon was left intact during flap dissection. The advantage of deep fascia inclusion is that it helps to protect the neurovascular axis while facilitating dissection [3]. The procedure correlates with that used in our previous study, performed on the upper extremities [23]. In this study, while numerous proximally perforating branches of the dorsalis pedis artery were found 1 cm distal to the anterior ankle joint line, the average distance was calculated as 1.51 cm along the same direction. In addition, to increase the mobility of the flap, the extensor retinaculum was proximally dissected to identify the perforating branches of the anterior tibialis vessel to create the proximal pivot point and long pedicle to cover the lower leg area. These perforator findings are consistent with a previous study that reported branching, at approximately 4 cm proximal to the intermalleolar line [11,24]. However, in this study, we focused on the proximal perforating branch of the dorsalis pedis artery, to avoid injury to the extensor retinaculum. Usually, if the donor site defect is unable to primary closure, it would be cover by split thickness skin graft.
Effects of anodyne treatment on local blood flow and cutaneous sensation of the foot in a patient with peripheral neuropathy secondary to acromegaly

Red blood cell (RBC) flux (flow), concentration and velocity were measured by the DRT-4 laser Doppler (Moor instruments; Devon, Great Britain). A probe was placed on the skin over the dorsalis pedis artery of each foot and secured via the use of double stick adhesive tape. Measurement values were reported in arbitrary units, which corresponded to electrical output generated from the DRT-4 unit (Bornmry, Svensson, Lilja, and Sundkvist, 1997; Choi and Bennett, 2003). Peripheral sensation of eight sites on each foot was assessed using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments (North Coast Medical, Inc., Morgan CA) according to the method of Feng, Schlosser, and Sumpio (2009). As there was initially a lack of sensation in the feet (>300g filament) in this patient, the sensation was monitored using the 300 g filament (6.65) moving proximally on the leg until sensation was felt and the distance in centimeters from the medial malleolus was recorded.
