…Calf symptoms are typical of femoropopliteal disease. More distal disease may cause foot symptoms, although lower extremity symptoms are much more common than upper extremity…

…compression The ankle brachial index measured with Doppler determines whether compression may be applied at all, and if so at what pressure. Palpable foot pulses…

…waves. The transducer is held with one hand and its position and angle are adjusted to send ultrasound waves through structures to be visualized. Ultrasound…

…uterus to the left. Consider tilting the patient at a 15–30° left lateral angle to relieve pressure on the major vessels. A large uterus…
