AB A  76-year-old  man  presented  to  the  emergency  room  (ER)  with  acute  onset  of  coolness,  pain,  and  pallor  of  the  left  lower  extremity.  The  patient  had  a  history  of  hypertension  and  hypercholesterolemia  as  well  as  tobacco  use  in  the  past.  He  denied  a  history  of  claudication  and  had  no  symptoms  related  to  the  right  leg.  Motor  and  sensory  functions  of  the  left  foot  were  mildly  diminished.  Femoral  pulses  were  palpable  bilaterally,  but  there  were  no  palpable  or  Doppler  signals  distally  on  the  left  side,  and  a  prominent  right  popliteal  pulse  was  noted.  The  patient  was  suspected  to  have  an  acutely  thrombosed  left  popliteal  artery  aneurysm.
