Overview
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is most commonly a manifestation of atherosclerosis resulting from vascular inflammation. Other uncommon causes should be suspected when the PAD occurs occurs at a young age and in the context of a positive history. Uncommon causes include degenerative diseases (marfan's syndrome and ehlers-danlos syndrome), dysplastic disorders (fibromuscular dysplasia), inflammatory diseases (arteritis) and hypercoagulable states.
