Figure 1. CT-Scan and angiography of lower extremities and HE-staining of affected lesions. CT-scan shows serial stenoses of the right femoral, popliteal, anterior, and posterior tibial artery. The left-sided femoropopliteal bypass graft was occluded (A). Angiography shows reduced perfusion of the left-sided distal lower leg (B). HE-staining (40×) shows interstitial inflammation of the corium with neutrophilic inflammation and occlusion of the vasculature (arrows) (C).
