Peripheral arterial disease is a manifestation of systemic atherosclerotic disease with increasing prevalence. Moreover, this disease is associated with a high risk of mortality and cardiovascular events. Lipoprotein (a) (Lp a)—which has a proatherogenic, proinflammatory, and antifibrinolytic role—has been shown to be related to major cardiovascular events and peripheral vascular events after acute coronary syndromes<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/07/29/are-elevated-lipoprotein-a-levels-associated-with-increased-adverse-events-after-peripheral-endovascular-treatment/" title="Read more" >...</a>
SOLACI Peripheral Registry Surpassed the 500-Patient Mark
We are glad to announce that the Latin American SOLACI Peripheral Registry keeps growing and has enrolled over 500 patients. Over 9 countries and 29 Latin American sites have joined this multicenter, prospective research initiative that aims to collect data on the reality of lower limb angioplasty within our continent, in order to unify criteria, draw<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2022/04/08/solaci-peripheral-registry-surpassed-the-500-patient-mark/" title="Read more" >...</a>

Discrepancy between Angina and Ischemia Repeats in Peripheral Artery Disease
Three randomized studies showed exercising significantly improves 6-minute walk outcomes in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, many participants randomized to exercise did not perceive changes, and sometimes even got worse. These findings suggest a significant discrepancy between objective and perceived change in walking ability among PAD patients. 400 patients with peripheral artery disease<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/07/15/discrepancy-between-angina-and-ischemia-repeats-in-peripheral-artery-disease/" title="Read more" >...</a>

ACC 2021 | VOYAGER PAD: Usefulness of Rivaroxaban After Peripheral Angioplasty
Patients with peripheral vascular disease who undergo angioplasty in the lower limbs find benefit from treatment with rivaroxaban, according to the VOYAGER PAD study, presented at the scientific sessions of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2021 Congress and simultaneously published in JACC. Patients with said disease present a higher risk of ischemic events not<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/21/acc-2021-voyager-pad-usefulness-of-rivaroxaban-after-peripheral-angioplasty/" title="Read more" >...</a>
ACC 2021 | SAFE-PAD: Paclitaxel-Eluting Devices in Peripheral Disease
This work was conducted alongside the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the association between all-cause mortality and paclitaxel-eluting devices in peripheral vascular disease. According to data from SAFE-PAD, presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2021 Congress and simultaneously published in JAMA, there is no increase in mortality compared with conventional<a href="https://solaci.org/en/2021/05/19/acc-2021-safe-pad-paclitaxel-eluting-devices-in-peripheral-disease/" title="Read more" >...</a>
