Sport-related femoral artery occlusion detected by near-infrared spectroscopy and pedal power measurements: a case report.

CONCLUSION: Combining post-exercise ankle-brachial index, near-infrared spectroscopy, and pedal power measurements as routine diagnostic functional testing suggested a severe arterial flow inflow limitation. Conventional diagnostics encompassing duplex-Doppler echography and magnetic resonance angiography confirmed a femoral artery occlusion. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: https://www.trialregister.nl/ identifier is Trial NL8557.Abbreviations: NIRS: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy; PPM: Pedal Power Measurements; ABI: Ankle Brachial Index; PSV: Peak Systolic Velocity.
