Claudication is characterized by cramping pain in the affected area that comes about during exercise and is relieved with rest. Peripheral artery disease, a type of peripheral vascular disease (PVD), is caused by insufficient tissue perfusion due to narrowing or occlusion of the aorta or one of the more distal branches supplying the limbs. Similar to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Coronary_artery_disease:_Pathology_review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coronary artery<\/a>&nbsp;and cerebrovascular disease, the development of an atherosclerotic plaque that narrows or completely occludes an artery is the number one cause of peripheral artery disease, and therefore these diseases often exist together. Risk factors for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Atherosclerosis:_Pathology_review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">atherosclerosis<\/a>, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Hypertension:_Pathology_review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hypertension<\/a>, diabetes mellitus, smoking and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Hyperlipidemia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hyperlipidemia<\/a>, raise the suspicion for peripheral artery disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The location of a patient\u2019s pain can indicate where the occlusion is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This patient\u2019s thigh pain, without pain in the hips or buttocks, suggests there is an occlusion in the femoral artery. The femoral artery gives rise to the deep femoral artery (profunda femoris) which branches to form the lateral femoral circumflex artery. The lateral femoral circumflex artery supplies blood to the rectus femoris muscle, which functions to flex the thigh at the hip joint and extend the leg at the knee joint.&nbsp;In addition to claudication, chronic limb ischemia may produce physical changes. These include decreased skin temperature (termed poikilothermia), decreased hair and nail growth, and loss of sensation. On physical exam, the pulses distal to the obstruction are weak, and there is diminished capillary refill in the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Major_Takeaway\"><\/span>Major Takeaway:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peripheral artery disease is caused by an occlusion in an artery supplying the extremities, usually the legs, characterized by claudication (pain with exertion) and diminished peripheral pulses. More proximal occlusions (closer to the aorta) will cause pain in the hips and thighs, while distal occlusions (in the leg) will cause calf and foot pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Peripheral artery disease ~high yield~\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sPgmVzaU-WU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Peripheral_artery_disease:_Pathology_review\"><strong><em><u><em><strong>\u2192&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em>Peripheral artery disease: pathology review.<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em><u><\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span>References:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/accessmedicine.mhmedical.com\/content.aspx?aid=1155975428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harrison\u2019s Principles of Internal Medicine (20th ed.)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>_________________________<\/strong><br><br><strong>Want more USMLE\u00ae Step 1 practice questions?
