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.

Prevalence of arterial disease in patients with inguinal hernia
Patients with inguinal hernia will be assessed for the presence of arterial aneurysm, carotid stenosis, and peripheral artery disease in order to find any correlation between these pathological conditions.
at 1 year
Patients presenting with inguinal hernia will undergo vascular in-office visit and echo duplex of aorta, carotid arteries and lower limb arteries in order to detect any abnormalities related to arterial disease (aneurysm, stenosis, flow alteration).
Every patient will undergo a complete physical examination in order to detect any clinical or sub clinical vascular disease.
Every patient will undergo a complete echo duplex scan in order to detect any morphological or hemodynamic alteration of aorta, carotid arteries and lower limb arteries.
Patients of the general population presenting with inguinale hernia.
