Abstract
Claudication, from the Latin claudicato, meaning limping, is recognized as reproducible and predictable ambulatory pain that is relieved with rest. There are several useful noninvasive tools for classifying the severity of claudication, including ankle/brachial indices (ABI) measured at rest or with exercise provocation and Doppler ultrasonography [1], Clinical tools used to quantify the symptomatic severity of disease include the classification system developed by Fontaine (Fig. 14–1) [3]. Physiologic testing often consists of transcutaneous oxygen pressures and laser Doppler skin perfusion pressures, tools that can help predict the likelihood of healing of a chronic ulcer [4,5]. These parameters allow for more precise description and classification of patients into specific risk groups, ranging from chronic claudication to limb-threatening ischemia (Figs. 14–2 to 14–4).
