What was the cause of this patient’s pain and cramping?

A 52-year-old man complained of pain and cramping in his right calf caused by walking two blocks. The pain was relieved with cessation of activity.

Within normal limits (WNL)
Doppler ultrasound systolic pressures, p. 900
Femoral: 130 mm Hg; popliteal: 90 mm Hg; posterior tibial: 88 mm Hg; dorsalis pedis: 88 mm Hg (normal: same as brachial systolic blood pressure)
Arterial plethysmography, p. 695
Decreased amplitude of distal femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulse waves
Femoral arteriography of right leg, p. 988
Obstruction of the femoral artery at the midthigh level
Arterial duplex scan, p. 864
Apparent arterial obstruction in the superficial femoral arteryDiagnostic AnalysisWith the clinical picture of classic intermittent claudication, the noninvasive Doppler and plethysmographic arterial vascular study merely documented the presence and location of the arterial occlusion in the proximal femoral artery. Most vascular surgeons prefer arteriography to document the location of the vascular occlusion. The patient underwent a bypass from the proximal femoral artery to the popliteal artery. After surgery he was asymptomatic.Critical Thinking Questions1.
2. Why was there decreased hair on the patient’s right leg?
3. What would be the strategic nursing assessments after surgery to determine the adequacy of the patient’s circulation?
