Summary
This research study will evaluate the effects of aspirin and dipyridamole alone and in
combination on the blood flow in the vessels of the legs. We will examine how these
medications are able to inhibit the clotting of platelets in the vessels of patients with
PAD, and thereby affect the blood flow in the legs. Platelets are cells in the blood that
have the ability to adhere to each other to form clots.
