2. Learning Objectives
Review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and
clinical presentation of peripheral vascular disease
(PVD)
Describe the current treatment of PVD, including
revascularization
Identify the role of anticoagulant therapy in PVD
Evaluate literature and apply findings to a patient
case

3. Patient case
MS is a 91 year old male who returns to the anticoagulation clinic for
off-site warfarin management. The patient has been taking 11.25 mg
weekly, and his home health RN reports an INR of 2.1. The patient is
instructed to continue with the same dose and return for follow-up in
three weeks.

taking the warfarin for?
4. Patient case
MS returns to the anticoagulation clinic for off-site warfarin
management. The patient’s home RN calls to report recent INR
results. She states the patient has been very irritable and non-
compliant with his warfarin, taking more than instructed. The
patient does not want to take warfarin anymore.

To reduce MI, stroke, or vascular death in patients with
symptomatic PVD (COR 1, LOE A)
Cholesterol
management
Statins Indicated for all PVD patients (COR I, LOE A)
IC sx control Cilostazol Effective therapy to improve sx and increase walking distance
in patients with claudication (COR I, LOE A)
IC sx control Pentoxifylline Not effective for IC tx (COR III, LOE B-R)
Anti-hypertensives ACE inhibitors
or ARBs
To reduce risk of CV ischemic events in patients with PVD
(COR IIa, LOE A)
Oral
anticoagulation
Warfarin
?DOACs
Useful to improve patency after lower extremity autogenous
vein or prosthetic bypass uncertain
(IIb, B-R)
Background VOYAGER Study 2 Conclusions

Revascularization comes with its own
complications
• Loss of graft patency
• Severe claudication
• Limb-threatening ischemia
• Risk is 4X as high as that
among those who have
never undergone
revascularization
