Peripherally Embolizing Aortic Thrombus: The Work-Up, Management, and Outcome of Primary Aortic Thrombus

Figure 5

Lower extremity arterial Doppler with significant flow limitations in the left lower extremity consistent with diffuse obstructive atherosclerotic obstructive disease in the left posterior tibial artery, peroneal artery, and anterior tibial artery. The waveforms of the right lower extremity are normal multiphasic Doppler waveforms. In the left extremity, we see dampened monophasic Doppler flow signals in the area of the left posterior tibial artery and dorsalis pedis artery. Diminished pulse volume recordings were seen in the left ankle. Flat line, nonpulsatile flow signals were seen in the digits of the left foot.
