AB A  62-year-old  woman  with  a  history  of  smoking  presented  to  the  emergency  room  complaining  of  acute  onset  of  pain  and  color  change  of  the  left  toes.  All  five  of  her  toes  turned  purple-blue  in  color  (Figure  8-1).  The  patient  also  reported  a  low-grade  fever  but  denied  any  precipitating  events.  Her  past  medical  history  was  significant  for  hypertension  and  coronary  artery  disease.  Her  feet  were  warm,  and  she  had  diminished  bilateral  femoral  pulses  and  absent  distal  pulses  on  physical  examination.  Upon  further  questioning,  the  patient  admitted  to  short-distance  claudication.
