Abstract

Lower limb peripheral artery disease is highly prevalent worldwide and in France. Three different stages can be found: asymptomatic stage, exercise ischemia stage, rest ischemia stage. This review based on current recommendations presents how to diagnose the different stages (Ankle brachial index, Toe-brachial index, oxymetry at rest and exercise oxymetry) in order to manage these patients.
