Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of the lower extremities of chronic arterial occlusive disease. The arterial narrowing or obstruction arising from the atherosclerotic cycle decreases blood flow to the lower limb during exercise or while at rest. A spectrum of symptoms results, whose severity depends on the extent of the involvement and the collateral circulation that is available. Thus symptoms can range from sporadic claudication to rest pain. Intermittent claudication refers to pain that occurs with exercise in the affected limb, and is relieved with rest. This pain usually occurs distally to the obstruction or narrowing of the arteries. Because the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries are the vessels most frequently affected by the atherosclerotic process, the pain of intermittent claudication is most often localized to the calf.
