But regarding the question "Can you monitor blood clot formation before lethal size clots occur", the ankle brachial index (ABI) can only identify PAOD not blood clot, so it can serve as a screening test for pre-existing PAOD before starting therapy (combined with vascular risk factors) and to monitor patients during treatment but like you indicated this won't prevent sudden death.
