PY - 2015 T2 - Color Atlas and Synopsis of Vascular Diseases AB - A 70-year-old man was referred to vascular surgery for a several-year history of bilateral lower extremity calf claudication at one block. His claudication symptoms were described as significantly lifestyle limiting with the right leg worse than the left. The patient had previous bilateral iliac artery stenting 2 years prior to presentation (Figure 4-1). His peripheral vascular risk factors include hypertension (HTN), hyperlipidemia, and tobacco abuse (30 pack-years). The patient denied symptoms of rest pain and did not have any evidence of tissue loss. His pedal pulses were palpable 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.
