Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment Guest: Robert D. McBane, II M.D. Host: Stephen Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) Most patients, who have Peripheral Artery Disease, do not experience the symptoms right away. However, patients affected with PAD will likely experience symptoms such as pain in the legs during walking and loss of hair. PAD limits the blood flow from the vessels to the heart. Without the proper treatment, the effects of PAD can lead to amputation of the foot or legs. Major amputation can potentially lower the life expectancy of patients that are affected with PAD. Joining us today to discuss Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment is Robert D. McBane, II M.D. professor of medicine in the department of cardiovascular medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Specific topics discussed: How do you define PAD? Is invasive or noninvasive imaging diagnosis required? Or can be based on ABI?  Or is physical exam adequate with a bruit in the carotids, renals, or femorals? In PAD, are risk factors the same as in cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease? Why is having PAD a greater risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than coronary artery disease or cerebrovascular disease? Do any risk factors predominate in PAD? (e.g., is smoking more prevalent?) Are you checking lipoprotein a in patients with PAD at an early age? Has treatment of risk factors been shown to significantly reduce CV morbidity or mortality in patients with PAD? When is ABI indicated and when is toe-brachial index indicated? (What is the definition of noncompressible vessels?) When should we do exercise ABI? For treatment, other than treating the risk factors of lipids, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, or other treatments indicated such as anti-platelet and if so his aspirin adequate, what dose, or other anti-platelet agents indicated? Clopidogrel should be added when? Can be given in place of aspirin? When is cilostazol recommended? Can you give with heart failure-HFpEF and HFrEF?  Does this improve outcomes-walking distance or also overall morbidity and mortality? What home walking program is best to recommend for patients with PAD? Do patients with PAD get as aggressive treatment for risk factor control as do CV or cerebrovascular disease patients? Why are patients with PAD less often treated aggressively for risk factor control? Is that the patient or the caregiver? Any other new drugs available that are beneficial? When is revascularization helpful to consider? There is emerging evidence that lower LDL cholesterol (LDL less than 60) significantly benefits patients with CAD-is there any evidence lower LDL is beneficial in PAD?

In this activity, an expert in venous thromboembolism (VTE) reviews the latest clinical science and guidelines pertaining to cancer-associated VTE prophylaxis and treatment. This video-based program also focuses on strategies to help learners prepare for the practical integration of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in cancer-associated VTE and illustrates how this development can lead to clinical improvements in the prevention and management of VTE in the cancer setting. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Use established clinical tools to assess the risk for VTE in patients preparing to receive anticancer therapy, Summarize current evidence and guidelines on VTE treatment and prophylaxis including the use of direct oral anticoagulation in patients with cancer, Apply updated evidence on the use of DOACs as initial VTE therapy and/or thromboprophylaxis in the cancer setting.
