Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) remains underdiagnosed and undertreated despite available knowledge.
  • Effective PAD management necessitates addressing both physical plaque characteristics and endothelial function.
  • Part 1 of this series covered PAD diagnosis, epidemiology, and risk factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the medical and surgical management strategies for peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
  • To provide a comprehensive overview of current therapeutic options for PAD patients.
  • To emphasize the importance of a multifaceted approach in treating PAD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of non-invasive treatments including risk factor modification and pharmacotherapy.
  • Analysis of invasive strategies such as angioplasty, angiogenesis, and surgical interventions.
  • Integration of structural (plaque morphology) and functional (endothelial function) considerations in treatment planning.

Main Results:

  • Non-invasive management focuses on risk factor control and targeted drug therapies.
  • Invasive options encompass angioplasty, angiogenesis, and surgical revascularization.
  • Successful PAD management integrates interventions targeting both physical and functional aspects of the disease.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive management of PAD involves both medical and surgical interventions.
  • Addressing structural and functional factors is crucial for optimal patient outcomes in PAD.
  • Improved understanding and application of these management strategies can enhance PAD treatment efficacy.
