Clinical Case Spotlight on Early Vascular Screening

In the arena of endovascular intervention, early diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) can be a game-changer. This month, I’m presenting a case that emphasizes this critical point.
  • Clinical Background:

    74-year-old male

    PMH: PAD, DM2, HTN, HLD, CKD Stage 3

  • Clinical Presentation:

    Severe claudication, right lower limb

    Rest pain in the right lower limb

    ABI: 0.66

  • Clinical Findings:

    Arterial US: 90% stenosis in right SFA

    Confirmatory Angiography

  • Interventional Strategy:

    Atherectomy and balloon angioplasty, right SFA

    Excellent post-procedure outcomes

  • Clinical Implications:

    Prompt vascular screening can dramatically improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
