Causal Link Between Gut Microbiota and Arterial Occlusive Diseases: Insights From Mendelian Randomization and Bioinformatics Analysis

This study provides strong evidence of a causal relationship between gut microbiota and AOD, particularly PAD. The findings highlight the potential of gut microbiota as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in managing vascular diseases. Further research is warranted to explore microbiota-targeted interventions and their clinical applications.
