This document discusses peripheral arterial disease and acute arterial occlusion. It describes the typical presentation of an acutely ischemic leg using the "5 or 6 P's" mnemonic of pain, pallor, pulselessness, paresthesias, paralysis, and poikilothermia. Acute limb ischemia can be caused by thromboembolism from the heart, aorta, or iliac arteries, or stent/graft failure in previously treated patients. Treatment depends on the severity and viability of the limb and may involve imaging, endovascular or open revascularization, or amputation. Risks of open thrombectomy include intimal damage and dissection while risks of thrombolysis include minor bleeding at access sites or
