    A, Trends in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) hospitalizations and (B) PAD hospitalizations associated with a vascular procedure. The solid lines show trends in hospitalizations based on primary and secondary diagnoses, and the dashed lines show trends in hospitalizations based on primary diagnoses only. C, The proportion of PAD hospitalizations with procedure for women (red) and men (blue) are shown from 1998 to 2007.
