Given the growing burden of disease, knowledge of modern practices to prevent MACE and major adverse limb events (MALE) is essential.

The use of supervised exercise therapy for intermittent claudication is highlighted. The anatomic disease patterns of smoking and diabetes mellitus are discussed further, and best practices for diabetic foot ulcer prevention, including offloading footwear, are described. Quality wound care is essential in this patient population and involves strategic use of debridement, wound-healing adjuncts, and skin substitutes, when appropriate.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The objective of medical management of PAD is to reduce the risk of MACE and MALE. Atherosclerotic risk factor optimization, appropriate wound care, and management of diabetic foot ulcers, foot infections, gangrene, and chronic, non-healing wounds are critical components of PAD care. Interdisciplinary care is essential to coordinate care, leverage expertise, and improve outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":9557,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"357-371"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71420992","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}

Currently, treatment is mainly focused on anticoagulation, but therapies targeting mechanisms involved in APS autoimmune pathogenesis could play an important role in specific settings. An evidence-based therapeutic approach is limited by the broad clinical spectrum of the syndrome and the nature of a \"rare disease\" that makes it difficult to carry out well-designed prospective studies. Vitamin K antagonists (AVK), notably warfarin, are the standard treatment for preventing recurrent venous thrombosis and perhaps also arterial thrombosis. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are not recommended at least in patients with triple positivity APS. Treatment options for the prevention of pregnancy complications in obstetric APS, as combined use of aspirin and heparin, low-dose prednisolone, hydroxychloroquine, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), may improve pregnancy outcome. The catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is the most severe form of APS with acute multiple organ involvement and small vessel thrombosis. Glucocorticoids, heparin, plasma exchange or IVIG, rituximab, or eculizumab must be added to concurrent treatment of precipitating factors (e.g. infections) as rescue therapies. Finally, it has been observed that SARS COV2 infection may produce vascular complications mimicking the clinical and pathophysiological features of APS and particularly of CAPS. From this point of view, attention has been focused on the \"protective\" role of anticoagulant therapy in preventing thrombotic complication when these clinical conditions coexist.</p>","PeriodicalId":9557,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy","volume":" ","pages":"385-404"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9981968","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}
