In medicine, peripheral arterial disease (peripheral artery disease; PAD) is a form of arterial occlusive disease. More specifically, PAD is arteriosclerosis in the arteries of the lower extremities usually from atherosclerosis.

Diagnosis

Clinical practice guidelines guide assessment of PAD.[1] A systematic review by the Rational Clinical Examination helps guide the medical history taking and the physical examination.[2]

Physical examination

On physical examination, the ankle brachial index (ABI) can be estimated by either auscultaton[3] of palpation.

Treatment

Clinical practice guidelines help manage PAD.[4]

Surgery may hasten improvement as compared to a supervised exercise program.[5]

Prognosis

The Revised Cardiac Risk Index may predict short and long term complications among patients undergoing surgery for peripheral arterial disease.[6]
