Overview

Peripheral artery occlusive disease is commonly divided in the Fontaine stages, introduced by Dr René Fontaine in 1954[1]

Classification

Fontaine Stages

Peripheral artery occlusive disease is commonly divided in the Fontaine stages, introduced by Dr René Fontaine in 1954:[2]

  • Stage I: asymptomatic
  • Stage II a: mild claudication
  • Stage II b: moderate to severe claudication for relatively shorter distances
  • Stage III: ischemia rest pain
  • Stage IV: ulceration or tissue loss (gangrene)

Rutherford Categories

  • Grade 0, Category 0: asymptomatic
  • Grade I, Category 1: mild claudication
  • Grade I, Category 2: moderate claudication
  • Grade I, Category 3: severe claudication
  • Grade II, Category 4: ischaemia rest pain
  • Grade III, Category 5: minor tissue loss
  • Grade IV, Category 6: major tissue loss.
Shown below is an image showing the difference between Fontaine's and Rutherford's classification.
