AB An  82-year-old  man  with  peripheral  artery  disease  (PAD)  was  evaluated  for  a  painful  right  foot.  Over  the  past  3  weeks  the  patient  began  to  have  constant  dull  aching  in  his  foot  that  improved  when  standing  or  walking.  His  pain  was  particularly  intense  at  night,  and  he  found  that  sleeping  in  a  chair  helped  the  disomfort.  Three  weeks  prior  to  this  presentation,  small  sores  on  the  dorsal  surface  of  the  foot  evolved  and  subsequently  coalesced  with  dry  gangrene  in  the  small  toe  (Figure  92-1).  The  right  foot  was  found  to  be  tender,  pulseless,  cool,  and  ruborous  with  mild  edema  and  elevation  pallor.
