Summary

Comprehensive update to the 2016 AHA/ACC PAD guideline covering diagnosis and management of lower extremity peripheral artery disease across four clinical subsets: asymptomatic PAD, chronic symptomatic PAD (claudication), chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), and acute limb ischemia (ALI). New emphasis on PAD-related risk amplifiers, health disparities, multispecialty team-based care for CLTI, structured exercise (including community/home-based), and incorporation of low-dose rivaroxaban plus aspirin for prevention of MACE/MALE. Reflects evidence from BEST-CLI, BASIL-2, VOYAGER PAD, and COMPASS trials.
