    Abstract Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects over 230 million adults globally, with hypertension being one of the major risk factors for the development of PAD. Despite the high prevalence, patients with hypertension who have concomitant PAD are less likely to receive adequate therapy. Through this review, we present the current evidence underlying hypertension management in PAD, guideline-directed therapies, and areas pending further investigation. Multiple studies have shown that both high and relatively lower blood pressure levels are associated with worse health outcomes, including increased morbidity and mortality. Hence, guideline-directed recommendation involves cautious management of hypertensive patients with PAD while ensuring hypotension does not occur. Although any antihypertensive medication can be used to treat these patients, the 2017 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC), 2017 European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and 2022 Canadian guidelines favor the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) as the initial choice. Importantly, data on blood pressure targets and treatment of hypertension in PAD are limited and largely stem from sub-group studies and post-hoc analysis. Large randomized trials in patients with PAD are required in the future to delineate hypertension management in this complex patient population.

    Abstract Objective: Patients with intermittent claudication (IC) from peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have significant improvement with supervised exercise therapy (SET). However, many patients have progressive disease that will ultimately require revascularization. We sought to determine whether the anatomic patterns of PAD were associated with response to SET.
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients with IC at the West Haven, Connecticut Veterans Health Administration between June 2019 and June 2022. Patients were classified based on the level of their arterial disease with >50% obstruction. SET failure was defined as progressive symptoms or development of critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) requiring revascularization.
    Results: Thirty-eight patients with PAD were included. Thirteen patients (34.2%) had significant common femoral artery (CFA) disease, and 25 (65.8%) had non-CFA disease. Over a median follow-up of 1407 days, 11 patients (84.6%) with CFA disease failed SET as compared with three patients (12.0%) with non-CFA disease (P < .001). Patients with CFA disease were more likely to develop CLTI (46.2% vs 4.0%; P = .001) and have persistent symptoms (38.5% vs 8.0%; P = .02). Patients with CFA disease had significantly lower post-SET ankle-brachial index (0.58 ± 0.14 vs 0.77 ± 0.19; P = .03). In multivariate analysis, the only variable associated with SET failure was CFA disease location (odds ratio, 68.75; 95% confidence interval, 5.05-936.44; P = .001).
    Conclusions: Patients with IC from high-grade CFA atherosclerosis are overwhelmingly likely to fail SET, potentially identifying a subset of patients who benefit from upfront revascularization.

    Abstract Representation of women in interventional vascular fields (interventional cardiology, interventional radiology, and vascular surgery) lags behind that in other specialties. With women representing half of all medical school graduates, encouraging parity of women in these fields needs to start in medical school. Barriers to pursuing careers in vascular intervention include insufficient exposure during core clerkships, early mentorship, visibility of women in the field, length of training, lifestyle considerations, work culture and environment, and concerns about radiation exposure. This scientific statement highlights potential solutions for both the real and perceived barriers that women may face in pursuing careers in vascular intervention, including streamlining of training (as both interventional radiology and vascular surgery have done with a resultant increase in percentage of women trainees), standardization of institutional promotion of women in leadership, and professional and industry partnerships for the retention and advancement of women.

    Abstract The femoropoliteal segment is a common target for endovascular intervention and the unique biomechanical forces on the arteries increase the risk of restenosis This large meta-analysis supports drug coated balloons as the initial endovascular strategy due to lower risk of target lesion revascularization compared to other modalities Whether there are subgroups of patients or lesion types that benefit from an alternative revascularization approach is unclear and warrants investigation.

    Abstract Background: Women with coronary artery disease are shown to have worse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention compared with men; however, less is known about sex-based outcomes following lower extremity peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) for symptomatic peripheral artery disease. The study aims to assess whether female sex is independently associated with periprocedural complications in patients undergoing PVI.
    Methods: Analysis includes patients undergoing lower extremity PVI from September 2016 to March 2020 from the Vascular Quality Initiative registry. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the independent association of female sex with post-PVI complications.
    Results: Of the 119 620 patients included, 47 316 (39.6%) were women. Analysis reflected that women were at higher risk of developing access site complications, including any hematoma (odds ratio [OR], 1.45 [1.35-1.57]), hematoma requiring transfusion (OR, 2.24 [1.82-2.76];
    Conclusions: In a contemporary cohort, women undergoing lower extremity PVI for symptomatic peripheral artery disease were at higher risk than men of developing periprocedural complications, including moderate or severe access site bleeding, above-knee amputation, and in-hospital mortality. This increased risk persisted despite adjustment for differences in baseline patient or procedural characteristics and warrants further investigation.
