Preface
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is unfortunately infrequently recognized. The treatment of PAD continues to evolve but is fundamentally focused on control of risk factors in order to prevent the associated risk of heart attack, stroke, and premature cardiovascular death as well as improvement in exercise performance and limb preservation. The pathophysiology of progressive atherosclerotic plaque in the extremities is thought to involve plaque hemorrhage and rupture, but few data support this presumption. Clinical research is needed to develop agents designed to halt progression of atherosclerotic disease in the peripheral arterial system. Despite these current limitations in understanding and treating PAD, new lipid modifying agents and new antiplatelet treatment of risk factors and strategies to improve pain-free walking distance have emerged, including the use of emerging endovascular strategies. In addition, with the rapid evolution of technology to improve arterial perfusion with minimally invasive catheter-based strategies, options for revascularization of patients with advanced symptoms and signs of PAD are improving.
The primary objective of Peripheral Artery Disease is to provide the reader with the most current information on diagnosis and treatment of PAD.
We hope that this reference provides an easy-to-use resource for the practicing clinician, ultimately resulting in better care for our patients. In addition, we would like to dedicate this entire book to Alan T. Hirsch, MD, who died suddenly and unexpectedly in April 2017. It minimizes his impact on the field and all vascular specialists to discuss his publications, presentations, and advocacy. Alan was a tireless voice for patients around the World who suffered from PAD. It was through his efforts that exercise and guidelines-based medical therapies have become primary in the management of these patients. We will forever miss his enthusiasm, humor, expertise and care, but most importantly, the World is a bit smaller with his passing.
