VI. Symptoms
- Presentations

- Atypical Leg Pain: 50% of cases
- Asymptomatic: 40% of cases
- Classic Claudication
-
Critical Limb Ischemia (1% of presentations)
- Tissue loss or gangrene
- Burning pain or numbness in the forefoot may awaken patient
- Pain improves with hanging leg over the side of the bed (with dependent redness or rubor)
- Chronic (>2 weeks) ischemic rest pain, often occurring soon after falling asleep
- Chronicity allows for collateral vessel development and preserved limb viability despite severe symptoms
-
Acute Limb Ischemia (see management below)
- Cold, painful, pale limb with diminished or absent pulses
- Motor weakness
- Decreased Sensation
- Abrupt onset allows for no collateral circulation, and a short window of viable tissue for revascularization
- Timing of symptoms related to degree of stenosis
- Exertional pain: 70% arterial pain
- Nocturnal pain: 70 to 90% arterial stenosis
- Ischemic rest pain: 90% arterial stenosis
VII. Exam

- Extremity Motor Exam
- Extremity Sensory Exam
VIII. Signs
