The Asia-Pacific consists of countries with wide diversities in population, ethnicity, language, and clinical practice. With improvement in health care, many developed economies in the region have an aging population. The incidence and detection rates of occlusive and aneurysmal diseases are on the rise, although not yet approaching that in the United States.
