If your leg does not get colder or stiffer than the other, you would only have to keep your blood from clotting for the most part. People with PAD develop PAIN in the affected limb when exercising or walking. If you have no pain, color blanching, or cold sensations, then mild is not really bothering you. The dye for the eye angiogram is fluorescent. And shows up in the photos they take. It is called fluorescein. The dye for the leg would probably be radioopaque and show up on fluoroscope and Xray or CT scans. You could Google ... "dye used for visualization of leg arteries" and find out its name, like this below. https://www.vascularweb.org/vascular...giography.aspx This suggests an iodine based contrast agent.
