Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that may be associated with a high prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and related symptoms. However, the evidence supporting this association is weak, as only small cohort studies are available. Furthermore, limited data are available on the outcome of lower limb peripheral arterial interventions (PAI) in patients with PXE. It was the aim of this study to clarify the prevalence of PAD, and the occurrence and outcome of PAI in patients with PXE. This was a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from the Dutch Expertise Centre for PXE database. Clinical data of consecutive patients with a definitive diagnosis of PXE were examined. The primary endpoint was the prevalence of PAD (defined as an ankle brachial index of < 0.9). The secondary endpoint was to report an overview of PAI and target lesion revascularisations. In 285 PXE patients (median age 58 years), 50.9% of patients (n = 145) met the criteria for PAD. Seventeen patients underwent a PAI, mostly for intermittent claudication, at a median age of 51 years. The incidence of PAI was 2.25 per 1 000 patient years in patients with PAD and PXE. A total of 58 interventions was recorded, of which 35 were target lesion revascularisations in nine patients. Twenty one revascularisations were performed within a year following the primary intervention, in 16 cases due to an acute occlusion. Within a well phenotyped and large PXE cohort, the diagnosis of PAD was prevalent in one in two patients. The observed rate of peripheral interventions was low, while the re-intervention rate was unfavourable after endovascular or bypass surgical procedures, with over half of these re-interventions indicated within a year.

D011561 Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum An inherited disorder of connective tissue with extensive degeneration and calcification of ELASTIC TISSUE primarily in the skin, eye, and vasculature. At least two forms exist, autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant. This disorder is caused by mutations of one of the ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS. Patients are predisposed to MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION and GASTROINTESTINAL HEMORRHAGE.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
