Closing the Gap in Peripheral Artery Disease Management: Care Coordination Strategies to Improve Patient Access and Outcomes

This CV business white paper explores how health systems can improve peripheral artery disease (PAD) diagnosis, treatment and limb preservation by addressing operational barriers across the care continuum. PAD can progress to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), tissue loss and acute limb ischemia (ALI), putting patients at serious risk for amputation – often before they receive coordinated vascular care.  Drawing on insights from Boston Scientific’s Close the Gap initiative and interviews with cardiovascular leaders, the publication identifies six critical domains for building more effective PAD programs: early identification, triage and escalation, governance and accountability, access optimization, care coordination, and performance measurement.

Discover practical strategies to support continuity of care, accelerate treatment, improve access to vascular care, and support better long-term outcomes for patients with PAD and CLTI.
