Summary

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) management guidelines emphasize strong recommendations for smoking cessation, exercise, and specific pharmacotherapies. Autogenous grafts are preferred for bypass surgery, while new endovascular techniques offer options for select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Evidence-Based Medicine

Background:

  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD) significantly impacts patient quality of life and longevity due to cardiovascular and limb complications.
  • Recent advancements in diagnostics, pharmacotherapy, and surgical/endovascular interventions have improved PAD management.
  • This guideline synthesizes evidence to provide recommendations for PAD patient care.

Framework:

  • The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework guided evidence synthesis and quality assessment.
  • Fifty-six recommendations were formulated, categorized by strength (strong/weak) and evidence quality (high/moderate/low).

Implementation:

  • Strong recommendations with high-quality evidence include smoking cessation, structured exercise for claudication, lipid-modifying therapy, and specific antithrombotic and antihypertensive agents.

  • For diabetic PAD patients, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors are recommended.
  • Autogenous grafts are superior to prosthetic grafts for bypass surgery in specific arterial locations.

    • Implications:

    • Endovascular techniques and hybrid procedures are recommended for suitable PAD patients.
    • Evidence for perioperative risk stratification in surgical PAD patients remains limited.
    • These evidence-based recommendations aim to optimize the management of peripheral artery disease.
