Older Age, Diabetes Duration, and CAD Are Leading Risk Factors for PAD in Patients With T2DM
Researchers report the results of a systematic review assessing risk factors for peripheral artery disease in populations with type 2 diabetes.
Peripheral Artery Disease
Safety of Drug-Coated Devices for Femoropopliteal Revascularization
SAFE-PAD evaluated the real-world safety of femoropopliteal artery revascularization using drug-coated vs non-drug-coated devices.
E/e’ Ratio 15 or Higher Ups Risk for 5-Year Mortality for Patients With PTA for PAD
Investigators sought to determine whether elevated E/e’ ratio is an independent predictor for mortality at 5 years among patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for peripheral artery disease.
Exercise Therapy and Lower Extremity Revascularization Effective for Peripheral Artery Disease
Exercise therapy and lower extremity revascularization both improve walking performance in symptomatic patients with peripheral artery disease, concluded researchers after a comprehensive review of several randomized controlled trials.
Combined Benefits Seen With Exercise Plus Revascularization in LE Peripheral Artery Disease
A combination exercise therapy and revascularization may result in improved clinical outcomes vs either strategy alone in lower extremity PAD.
Risk for Lower Limb Amputation in Concomitant PAD and MVD
Microvascular disease was found to be associated with lower limb amputation, a risk increased in a synergistic manner in individuals with comorbid PAD.
Use of Paclitaxel-Coated Endovascular Devices Not Found to Increase Mortality
The use of paclitaxel-coated vs uncoated endovascular devices for the treatment of peripheral artery disease was not associated with increased mortality.
Intradialytic Hypotension Tied to Peripheral Artery Disease
Findings based on large, national study of more than 45,000 hemodialysis patients.
ACC Consensus Decision Pathway for Anticoagulant, Antiplatelet Use in Patients With AF or VTE Scheduled for PCI
Expert consensus decision pathway for anticoagulant and antiplatelet use in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or in those with atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Severe White Matter Lesions Predict Poor Functional Outcomes After Acute Ischemic Stroke
Increasing severity of white matter lesions are predictive of poor functional outcomes following acute ischemic stroke, but do not alter the effect of EVT.
