Exercise transcutaneous oximetry (Ex-tcPO2) is used to argue for the vascular origin of lower limb pain, especially at the proximal level, where the diagnosis of peripheral artery disease can be difficult. This study analyzed the principal indications, mean results, and limitations of Ex-tcPO2, as well as the relationship between the annual number of Ex-tcPO2 tests and internal iliac artery (IIA) revascularizations.Methods and Results:Data from our first 15 years' experience (3,631 patients, 5,080 tests) with Ex-tcPO2 were analyzed retrospectively using the minimal value of the decrease from rest of oxygen pressure (DROP min ). We had 99.7% of expected DROP min results. The proportion of tests showing isolated proximal unilateral or bilateral ischemia ranged from ~5% to ~20%. A gradual increase with time was observed in both the annual number of Ex-tcPO2 tests (from 0 to ~500 per year) and the annual number of IIA revascularizations performed (from 0 up to 18 per year). At least 85% of patients (77/91) showed function improvement after IIA revascularization.
