2024 Peripheral Arterial Guidelines: What’s New
2024 Peripheral Arterial Guidelines: What’s New Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D. Host: Malcolm Bell, M.D. The new iteration of ACC/AHA/AACVPR/APMA/ABC/SCAI/SVM/SVN/SVS/SIR/VESS Guideline for the Management of Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease came out in 2024, providing multiple new recommendations for the management of lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) as compared to the 2016 PAD Guideline. These recommendations were made in light of multiple new trials since the prior guideline, including use of antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapy, lipid-lowering therapy and structured exercise therapy. For the first time, these guidelines also underscore the importance of health disparities in PAD. This podcast will highlight these new recommendations with focus on prevention of adverse events in patients with PAD. Topics Discussed: Why was an update of 2016 PAD guidelines necessary? What are important new class I recommendations in the guidelines? For the first time, health disparities are highlighted for patients with PAD. Why was this done?
