Popis: Guidelines conduce to establish consistent standards of therapy and contribute to the orientation and safeguard of the attending physician. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) may be classified according to its stage as intermittent claudication, chronic critical limb ischemia or acute limb ischemia. Since these diseases are common and life-threatening, current guidelines are of major interest for the attending physician, not least because of forensic reasons. This overview describes the current principles of diagnosis and therapy as well as recent developments in peripheral endovascular intervention. Current national and international guidelines, particularly the Transatlantic Intersociety Consensus (TASC), were taken into account.
