Update on the management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD)

There has been much progress made in the management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the past two decades. Progress in the understanding of the endothelial-platelet interaction during health and disease state have resulted in better antiplatelet drugs that can prevent platelet aggregation, ac...
