Summary
There have not been any published studies showing the use of topical nitroglycerin on the
dilatory effect on the posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis arteries. The objective of this
study is to determine the response of the posterior tibial artery and dorsalis pedis artery
to topical administration of nitroglycerin. This study may provide further information for
the utility of this artery in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease.
