Abstract

Percutaneous endovascular intervention has revolutionized the treatment of peripheral vascular disease by allowing successful treatment of patients who are not good surgical candidates. Cardiologists with peripheral vascular training are more readily able to identify patients with concomitant peripheral arterial disease. It has been our experience that the technical skills necessary to perform coronary angioplasty are transferable to the peripheral vasculature. However, an understanding of the natural history of peripheral disease and of patient and lesion selection criteria, and the knowledge of other treatment alternatives are essential elements required to perform these procedures safely and effectively. There are inherent advantages for patients when the interventionalist performing the procedure is also the clinician responsible for the pre- and post-procedure care, analogous to the vascular surgeon who cares for patients before and after surgical procedures. In view of the increased incidence of coronary artery disease in patients with atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease, the participation of a cardiologist in their care seems appropriate.
