Fig. 1A. 64-year-old man with history of peripheral vascular disease
and pain-free walking distance of less than 200 m. Intraarterial digital
subtraction angiogram shows aneurysmal changes of left common femoral artery,
occlusion of left superficial femoral artery, and aneurysm (arrows)
of right popliteal artery.

Fig. 1B. 64-year-old man with history of peripheral vascular disease
and pain-free walking distance of less than 200 m. Coronal maximum intensity
projection of 3D whole-body MR angiogram using moving table shows aneurysmal
changes of left common femoral artery, occlusion of left superficial femoral
artery, and aneurysms (arrows) of right popliteal artery as well as
thoracic aorta and supraaortic branches.

Fig. 2B. 68-year-old woman with history of peripheral vascular disease
and pain-free walking distance of more than 200 m. Coronal maximum intensity
projection of 3D whole-body MR angiogram using moving table shows aneurysm of
right common iliac artery (straight arrow) and additional high-grade
stenosis of right internal carotid artery (curved arrow).

Fig. 2C. 68-year-old woman with history of peripheral vascular disease
and pain-free walking distance of more than 200 m. Magnification of coronal
maximum intensity projection of 3D whole-body MR angiogram shows lesion of
right internal carotid artery (arrow). Stenosis was initially
unsuspected and verified on duplex sonography (not shown).

Fig. 3A. 55-year-old man with clinically documented peripheral
vascular disease and pain-free walking distance of more than 200 m.
Intraarterial digital subtraction angiogram shows bilateral diffuse
atherosclerotic changes of lower extremity arterial system
(arrows).

Fig. 3B. 55-year-old man with clinically documented peripheral
vascular disease and pain-free walking distance of more than 200 m. Coronal
maximum intensity projection of 3D whole-body MR angiogram using moving table
falsely shows right posterior tibioperoneal artery (straight arrows)
to be occluded. Unsuspected aneurysm (curved arrow) of ascending
aorta was detected.

tibioperoneal trunk (arrow).

maximum intensity projection of 3D whole-body MR angiogram using moving table
shows bilateral atherosclerotic changes of lower extremity arterial
vasculature and occlusion of right tibioperoneal trunk (straight
