Learn how to recognize and manage one of the highest-yield vascular emergencies tested on Step Two CK — acute-on-chronic limb ischemia. In this Master Series episode, we walk through a realistic clinical case, decode the red flags, and guide you through the proper diagnostic reasoning and life-saving treatment steps. Understand how to distinguish this condition from similar presentations like DVT or compartment syndrome, and learn why timing is everything when motor deficits appear.

Master the six classic signs of acute limb ischemia, break down key pathophysiology, and prepare yourself for both the exam and real-life clinical emergencies. This is not just a review — it’s the kind of deep, structured clinical reasoning that will elevate your score and sharpen your decision-making.

Stay focused. Study smart. And keep mastering your craft.
