Preventing Adverse Events in High-Risk Cardiometabolic Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease

Patients with diabetes and PAD, particularly those with concomitant polyvascular disease, are at a greater risk for future adverse cardiovascular and limb events.

Furthermore, peripheral revascularization has become increasingly common in PAD patients, however, patients who undergo this procedure are still at an increased risk for future adverse events, particularly for acute limb ischemia. Given these heightened risks in PAD patients with cardiometabolic disease or risk, traditional antiplatelet strategies may not be adequate. Several clinical trials have been recently concluded or ongoing that have evaluated novel antithrombotic therapy in this setting, and these advances and their clinical practice implications will be covered during this symposium by expert faculty.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for US-based healthcare professionals, including primary care clinicians (PCPs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), endocrinologists, diabetologists, pharmacists, cardiologists, lipidologists, and other allied health professionals.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

  • Describe the pathophysiology and major complications of peripheral artery disease and the heightened risk in cardiometabolic patients.
  • Summarize the major findings and implications of trials evaluating the role of direct oral anticoagulants in the management of high-risk patients with stable PAD
  • Discuss recent data about the role of direct oral anticoagulants in patients with PAD who have undergone lower-extremity revascularization
