Peripheral Arterial Disease ( PAD ) Investigations:

1st ( Start By simple ) Laboratory tests:
CBC, Hgb, RBS, Lipid profile, RFTs.

2nd ( Vascular Labs ):
- Doppler US to detect the pulse by Sound.
- Ankle-Brachial Index at rest and exercise if drop > 20% —> ischemia
- Segmental pressure measurement: to find the location of stenotic artery.

3rd ( Imaging )
If Asked Next?
Start by Duplex US
If asked the Gold standard or best investigation to detect PAD?
Choose Conventional Angiography.


Usually we start by US if not diagnostic we use CTA
If the patient have renal impairment and we cannot use CTA due to the contrast usually we go for MRA.

If none of the above is Diagnostic?
Conventional Angio is the gold standard for theraputic and diagnostic purposes.

Note: If the patient have PAD then presented suddenly with leg pain and suspicion of Acute ischemia? Give Heparin.
Heparinization immediately required.

D- MRA
