Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Vascular Diseases AB - A 61-year-old man was referred to vascular surgery for a several-year history of bilateral lower extremity calf claudication at two blocks. His claudication symptoms were described as significantly lifestyle limiting. Peripheral vascular risk factors included hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia, and tobacco abuse (20 pack-years). The patient denied symptoms of rest pain and did not have any evidence of tissue loss. His pedal pulses were not palpable but were heard with a Doppler bilaterally. After discussing options, the patient agreed to a 3-month trial of a supervised exercise program with an oral phosphodiesterase inhibitor (cilostazol) and tobacco cessation.
