Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) represents a major global health burden, affecting millions worldwide and leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and reduced quality of life as well as high rates of limb loss. With current advances in diagnostic techniques and revascularization therapies, early detection, risk stratification, and long-term management of PAD remain challenging. This Special Issue aims to advance the understanding of PAD through manuscripts involving the early diagnosis, best medical therapy, and appropriate intervention for PAD. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses clinical studies of limb salvage outcomes of medical and surgical interventions for critical limb-threatening ischemia, as well as appropriate interventions for claudication to improve patients’ quality of life.
