This is a concise summary of information on the incidence,
diagnosis, classification and non-surgical treatment of peripheral
artery disease (PAD). PAD imposes a significant burden on health
care system. Patients suffering from PAD have leg pains, difficulty
walking, and lower extremity ulcers. If untreated, this condition
can result in limb loss. It is both a life and a limb-threatening
condition. It is important to recognise this condition early on,
even in the absence of symptoms, in order to provide the best
possible therapy in a timely manner. Early and aggressive treatment
of PAD is crucial for limb salvage. The surgical therapeutic
options for PAD are well-known and described in the literature;
however, the information on medical and other non-surgical options
for PAD is scattered and not well-summarised. In this book, the
authors have attempted to assimilate and summarise in one place all
the available information regarding the epidemiology of PAD,
clinical features of the disease, clinical and anatomical
classification of PAD, medications used to treat PAD, role of fish
oil supplementation in PAD and the endovascular therapeutic options
for PAD. The authors have summarised the latest available
endovascular interventional strategies for the management of
aortoiliac, femoropopliteal as well as infrapopliteal PAD.
Peripheral vascular intervention is an exciting and ever-changing
field, and the authors have attempted to synthesise information
from all the major and relevant studies in this field. The authors
hope that their book serves as a valuable reference resource for
clinicians who are actively involved in the management of patients
suffering from PAD, including primary care physicians,
cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and cardiovascular fellows in
training.
