ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to present the diagnostic and therapeutic care pathway on peripheral arterial disease, recently developed in the Piedmont Region, Italy. It proposes a combined approach between the cardiologist and vascular surgeon for optimizing the treatment of patients with peripheral artery disease, which includes the most recently approved antithrombotic and lipid-lowering drugs. The goal is to promote a greater awareness on peripheral vascular disease, in order to implement its treatment patterns and consequently to perform an effective secondary cardiovascular prevention.
