Outpatient vascular care : Good, bad or ugly?

Dr. Anish Koka

Dormu performed an aortogram of the bilateral lower extremity with bilateral iliac runoff, which revealed a 90% stenosis of the right superficial femoral artery and 100% occlusion of all three tibial vessels. These studies revealed an 80% stenosis of the left superficial femoral artery and 100% occlusion of all three tibial vessels.
