A 58-year-old male, obese with a BMI of 37, presents with 6 months of worsening hip, buttock, and thigh claudication. His medical history includes type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and significant smoking history. Physical examination reveals diminished femoral pulses and severe aortic narrowing. Non-invasive testing shows ABI values significantly below normal. Surgical options discussed include aorto-femoral bypass and aortic endarterectomy. The patient underwent successful aorto-femoral bypass with improvement in claudication symptoms and increased ABI to 0.9. Discharged after 16 hours post-procedure.
