Advancements in Treatment Interventions for Peripheral Artery Disease
About this Course
Peripheral artery disease is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries of the arms, legs, or pelvis. After thorough screening and diagnosis, the condition is often treated with conservative measures. Patient education is vital to the success of these methods. If pain persists or blood flow is compromised, revascularization is warranted. This learning activity will focus on the stages of peripheral artery disease, best medical treatment options based on current guidelines, and various endovascular and surgical revascularization techniques, such as stenting, atherectomy, and thrombectomy.
Learning Objectives
- Review the stages of peripheral artery disease including chronic limb ischemia.
- Outline best medical treatment options for peripheral artery disease.
- Describe the atherectomy procedure including the various atherectomy devices.
