Has Reddish And Bluish Cover On Legs. Had Aneurism And Put Stint In Abdominal Area. Takes Amlodipine, Losartan

My husband 83 years has begun to have redish/bluish cover his lower legs. Is this indicative of any thing we should worry about. He had an aneurism 2 years ago and they put a stint in his main aorta in the abdomenal area and he has been checked frequently and is doing fine. His blood pressure is generally in line with the 120/70 but not all the time. He takes Amlodipine, Losartan and carvedelo.

Hi, it appears to be the cyanosis of the legs, may be due to the stagnant blood, or central cyanosis. So i advise you to consult a vascular surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have a color doppler for confirmation. Thank you.
