Peripheral arterial disease affects over 200 million people worldwide, of whom 10% to 20% require high-risk major vascular surgeries.
Why the study?
Major vascular surgeries are increasingly common and carry high risk among patients with peripheral arterial disease.
Highlights the high risk and increasing commonality of major vascular surgeries among patients with peripheral arterial disease.

Underscores the scale of high-risk vascular procedures in PAD; leaves open optimal perioperative strategies pending higher-level evidence.
Major vascular surgeries, such as aortic aneurysm repair, carotid endarterectomy, and lower limb revascularisation, are increasingly common and carry a high risk. More than 200 million people are affected by peripheral arterial disease worldwide, of whom 10-20% require surgery
