摘要

Atherosclerosis is the main cause of lower limb claudication. Upper limb claudication is evocative of thromboangiitis obliterans, which is frequently a cause of peripheral artery disease in the young.
Vascular compression could be searched for in patients with sport occupational activity.
Ultrasonography, CT scan and MRI are useful for the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases, genetical diseases and radic arteriopathy.
Blood count and search for thrombophilia are used for the diagnosis of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome or myeloproliferative disorders.
