Not realy: Intermittent claudication in a young patient is unusual and should prompt a search for causes other than atherosclerosis. Osteochondroma popliteal artery entrapmentsyndrome cystic adventitial disease fibromuscular dysplasia, takayasu's arteritis buerger's disease, or thomboangiitis obliterans.
