- 9 cm occluded segment identified at the distal femoral artery
- resultant tardus parvus spectral waveform of all the calf arteries
- no further occlusion appreciated elsewhere
Case Discussion
There is an occlusion in the distal femoral artery limiting flow to all arteries distal to it.
The arteries downstream all demonstrate tardus parvus waveform.
