Her pain has not been relieved by medication, and she states she is starting to lose sensation in her foot. Physical examination reveals a swollen calf with shiny skin and an absent pedal pulse. Gray-scale imaging does not reveal any intimal damage; however, spectral Doppler waveforms are highly resistive in the popliteal artery and gradually diminish as samples are taken distally in the peroneal and posterior tibial arteries. What is the most likely diagnosis?
