New AUC released in December will help clinicians determinine the role of different revascularization options for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The document addresses common clinical scenarios within the field of PAD, including renal artery stenosis, lower extremity disease, critical limb ischemia, asymptomatic artery disease, options for endovascular treatment when deemed appropriate or may be appropriate, and secondary treatment options for lower-extremity disease.

It also highlights several areas where research is lacking, including asymptomatic artery disease, atherectomy in femoral popliteal lesions and comparing treatment modalities for in-stent stenosis, venous graft failures and arterial graft failures.
