Abstract

A 75-year-old man was addressed to the outpatient cardiac rehabilitation clinic for a structured exercise training programme and risk factor intervention because of intermittent claudication symptoms. He is known for a peripheral artery disease (PAD) stage IIa according to the Fontaine classification (Table 14.1) on both sides for 3 years due to a high-grade stenosis of the arteria femoralis superficialis on the left side, treated conservatively until now. Initially, symptoms were present on the left only, but 1 year ago, they appeared also at the right side, where they actually predominate.
