Abstract


A major contributor to morbidity and limb loss in the US is peripheral vascular diseases. Patients with peripheral vascular disease benefit from improved outcomes due to early detection and risk factor modification. This exercise discusses the fundamentals of managing and evaluating peripheral vascular disease, looks at both surgical and non-surgical treatment options, and emphasizes the value of an interprofessional team in assessing this condition. One of the leading causes of morbidity and limb loss in the US is peripheral vascular diseases. Along with peripheral vascular disease, early detection and risk factor modification are what improve patient outcomes. The principles of evaluating and managing peripheral vascular disease are explained in this activity, which also examines surgical and non-surgical treatment options and emphasizes the value of an interprofessional team in assessing this condition.  This exercise explains the function of the interprofessional team in a patient's assessment and diagnostic process when peripheral vascular disease is suspected. It sets up guidelines for interpreting readings from the ankle-brachial index. The cornerstones of care for peripheral vascular disease, especially for these patients, are exercise, antiplatelet therapy, and risk factor modification. Patients with severe conditions or symptoms that limit their lifestyle are frequently treated using endovascular, surgical, or combination interventional techniques. This exercise emphasizes the value of the multidisciplinary team in managing patients with peripheral arterial disease and choosing the best course of action.
