Answer to Question 1

B
Heparin does not cross the placental barrier and is the drug of choice for anticoagulation therapy during pregnancy, despite its category C classification. Aspirin is not recommended during the last 3 months of pregnancy. Dabigatran is not recommended. Warfarin crosses the placental barrier.

Answer to Question 2

A
Patients with disabling intermittent claudication who are not candidates for surgery or catheter-based intervention should be treated with cilostazol rather than pentoxifylline. Warfarin is not indicated. Patients with chronic limb ischemia are treated with lifelong aspirin therapy.
