A member asked:
Could you still get a pedal pulse with a doppler with an occluded femoral-popliteal artery graft?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pulse?: A pulse is something felt by palpation. A doppler, which is a machine that "listens" to blood flow, can't get a pulse but can produce a signal that tells us flow is present. An occluded fem-pop bypass will almost certainly have no pedal pulse but the patient may continue to have a pedal signal found on doppler. Discuss further with a board-certified vascular surgeon.
