Project Description

A case study manuscript about the importance of pedal acceleration time (PAT) exams in assessing lower extremity perfusion at the level of the foot and its role in clinical decision making. The diagnostic value of PAT exams is compared with other methods such as ankle brachial indices (ABI), toe-brachial indices (TBI), and lower extremity arterial duplex. This case presents a patient with a complex medical history and the ultrasound exams listed above displayed its strengths and limitations as to how it contributed to the patient's overall vascular assessment.
