Laboratory Findings
Clinical Presentation | Noninvasive Vascular Test |
Asymptomatic lower extremity PAD | ABI (with stress studies for functional claudication) |
Claudication | ABI, PVR, or segmental pressures; Duplex ultrasound; Exercise test with ABI; PE to assess functional status |
Possible pseudoclaudication | Exercise test with ABI; EMG and MRI for neurogenic etiologies |
Possible sympathetic pain syndromes | Thermography (Sympathetic Skin Response Testing) for RSD and CRPS |
Postoperative vein graft follow-up | Duplex ultrasound |
Femoral pseudoaneurysm, iliac or popliteal aneurysm | Duplex ultrasound |
Suspected aortic aneurysm; serial AAA follow-up | Abdominal ultrasound, CTA, or MRA |
Candidate for revascularization | Duplex ultrasound, MR angiography, or CTA |
