Dysbiosis refers to alterations in the function, composition, and diversity of the human gut microbiota, all of which are influenced by endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Currently there is limited literature describing the association between gut microbiota and peripheral artery disease (PAD). This review summarizes the evidence surrounding the role of gut microbiota in the initiation of atherosclerosis (through direct infection of atherosclerotic plaque or systemic immune response to bacterial products and metabolites) and how dysbiosis may influence the various treatment modalities for PAD, including medical therapy (pharmacotherapy, lifestyle changes, and supervised exercise training) and surgery (endovascular and open revascularization). In particular, the role of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), the effects of exercise on SCFA-producing and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and, consequently, the lack of targeted research into dietary interventions and supplementation are highlighted in this review. This review highlights the potential for gut microbiota as not only a therapeutic target in patients with PAD, but also as a diagnostic and screening tool. It is imperative that the focus of future research is on the potential for personalized treatment which targets the gut microbiota (such as synbiotics, postbiotics, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) supplementation, selective antibiotics, resistance exercise, senolytics, and fecal microbial transplantation [FMT]) to be utilized as adjuncts to already existing treatment options for PAD. This review also highlights the potential role of biobanks and analysis of atherosclerotic plaques in further advancing knowledge and research in this area.</p>","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1358863X251346062"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144476859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though single-component interventions targeting smoking cessation, exercise, or medication adherence show some efficacy, comprehensive multicomponent interventions are vital for addressing the complexity of PAD management. This review systematically synthesized multicomponent interventions for patients with PAD. A systematic search was conducted in Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science Core Collection, ProQuest, and Google Scholar to identify primary research describing multicomponent interventions supporting PAD treatment adherence, published between 2007 and 2024. A narrative synthesis was reported using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist and the behavioral change techniques (BCT) taxonomy. Out of 15 studies (2462 patients, 60.4% men) included in this review, only two addressed all guideline-recommended treatment aspects. Key intervention components included structured exercise (12/15) and education programs (10/15). Most interventions were delivered by multidisciplinary teams in hospital settings over 3 months. Only one study employed behavioral theory in its development, and most interventions (13/15) focused on the BCT 'instructions on how to perform a behavior' rather than diverse BCTs. No interventions significantly increased adherence to all PAD therapies. Few studies measured the intervention's impact on adherence, making it difficult to determine effective intervention characteristics. Most interventions lacked behavioral science approaches and were not designed to address specific adherence determinants. Future interventions should incorporate these elements to effectively address patients' needs. <b>Open Science Framework Registry ID: osf.io/7xqzj</b>.</p>","PeriodicalId":23604,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"343-352"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12171072/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143624647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
