Abbreviations
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Definitions
- Stenosis: Abnormal diameter narrowing of arterial lumen
- Occlusion: Completely blocked arterial lumen with no flow present
- Intermittent claudication (IC): Reproducible ischemic muscle pain provoked by exercise and relieved with rest; most commonly affects calf but can affect thigh and buttocks
- Critical limb ischemia (CLI): Severe form of PAD manifested by chronic limb pain and tissue loss (ulceration and gangrene)
- Acute limb ischemia (ALI): Sudden loss of blood flow that imperils limb; more typically embolic or traumatic
