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 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
