Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease affects a substantial portion of those older than 55. While the pathophysiology is relatively simple, in practice several other pathologies may present with a similar clinical picture. Initial assessment includes a thorough clinical exam and possibly imaging. Diagnostic tests include ankle-brachial indexes, ultrasound, computed tomography, diagnostic angiography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Before attempting revascularization, patients should be encouraged to modify any risk factors they can. Revascularization may occur with open or endovascular surgery. Patient selection is crucial to achieving optimal outcomes with either approach.
