Q

A 65-year-old man comes to your office with complaints of pain in his left foot. The patient is on medication for HTN, had a coronary stent placed two years ago, smokes between one and two packs per day, and has been on oral hypoglycemic medication for 10 years. On further questioning, he states that he is able to walk only 100 feet before developing pain in his left calf that resolves with 5 – 10 minutes of rest. For the past month, after sleeping for 2 or 3 hours, he wakes up with pain in his left foot. This resolves when he gets up to use the bathroom. Based on this history:
He has severe diabetic neuropathy
The patient has a lumbar nerve compression causing his pain
You anticipate that the patient will likely need an operation
It is likely that the patient has a stenosis of the superficial femoral artery

A 52-year-old man is being referred to a vascular surgeon. He smokes 2 packs per day and has mild hypertension. The patient has been evaluated by a cardiologist and has a normal EF and no inducible ischemia.
