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.
