title: A case of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis mimicking occlusive peripheral arterial disease.
abstract: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can both result in similar calf pain presentation. Treatment modalities depend on the etiology of the pain. We present the case of a 63-year-old female with left lower extremity pain and describe our eventual diagnosis of DVT as the cause of her symptoms.
