AB In  order  to  be  effective  in  the  challenging  environment  of  chronic  extremity  ulcer  management,  clinicians  must  have  a  thorough  understanding  of  arterial  disease  in  its  presentation  and  management.  Venous  wounds  account  for  a  majority  of  lower-extremity  ulcerations  in  industrialized  countries  (approximately  80%-90%).  Within  that  population,  mixed  disease  presentation,  or  the  presence  of  both  venous  and  arterial  insufficiency  is  estimated  to  occur  in  about  25%  of  those  cases.1,2  This  chapter  provides  a  framework  for  evaluation  and  treatment  of  arterial  ulceration.
