The distribution patterns of upper extremity PAD are linked to its underlying pathophysiology. HTN and DM are the most frequent comorbidities in patients with upper extremity PAD. Angiographically, PAD in these patients is likely to present as stenosis rather than as occlusion. This is vital for interventionists who deviate from radial arterial access in patients with PAD. Therefore, targeted screening standards are required, and further studies on PAD are warranted.
