Abstract
Women have a risk of LEAD (lower-extremity artery disease)similar to men's risk. Symptoms are often absent, atypical or underestimated, leading to diagnosis in the most severe stages. Medical care is often less well adapted. In cases of revascularization, women have a higher morbidity rate than men, regardless of the severity grade and procedure chosen.
