If a stenosis of at least \u226570\u201389% was present in the common iliac, the external iliac or the common femoral artery, the degrees of stenosis distal to it were lower than those on the contralateral side (19.8\u00b122.3% (CI 11.7 to 28.0) vs 25.2\u00b120.7% (CI 21.2 to 29.1); Friesinger scores 1.1\u00b11.2 (CI 0.6 to 1.5) vs 1.4\u00b11.1 (CI 1.2 to 1.6); degrees of calcification 0.8\u00b11.0 (CI 0.4 to 1.1) vs 1.2\u00b11.1 (CI 1.2 to 1.6); p&lt;0.05 each). This effect depended on the degree of proximal stenosis, but not on collaterals, and was most pronounced distal to stenoses of the common iliac, the superficial femoral and the popliteal artery. In regression models, stenoses of the pelvic arteries were shown to be an independent protective factor for the distal vascular territories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Atherosclerotic stenoses seem to protect distal vascular territories from developing atherosclerosis.
