4) If 1-3 fail, start an invasive approach to help remove clots or re open narrowed arteries.
5) If patient is noncompliant extremities will more like be amputated.

Due to PAD causing narrowing of the arteries this will likely cause hypoxemia and hypercapnia since the majority of patients are smoker or diabetes or both and seen with Stroke or MI patients as well. Hypoxemia due to the narrowing of the arteries causing low O2 in blood making poor gas exchange in the muscles. Causing or leading to narcosis. With patients that have a history of MI or Stroke this is causing Left Ventricle issues leading to Pulmonary Hypertension. Causing Pulmonary Edema leading to Crackles and or Wheezing. I
