Hello, lower-limb arterial stenosis is a relatively common vascular disorder in clinical practice. Typically, color Doppler ultrasound of the lower-limb vessels is required for evaluation. If the ultrasound findings are inconclusive or suboptimal, angiography may be necessary to precisely assess the extent and severity of the disease and to guide surgical or endovascular interventions. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
