Summary

Inguinal hernias are associated with problems related to the venous system by the linking to extracellular matrix alterations (ECM). On the other hand, arterial diseases (arterial aneurysms, carotid, stenosis, peripheral artery disease) are widespread in the general population and may share others pathological pathways related to ECM impairment. Aim to this study is to evaluate the prevalence of arterial diseases in patients with inguinal hernia.
