A narrative review of imaging misallocation in peripheral artery disease: a value-based medicine perspective
PAD imaging is misaligned with value-based medicine: over-applied where benefit is marginal and under-applied where it is limb-saving. Implementing sequencing guardrails, decision-support tools, expedited CLTI workflows, and workforce remedies can rebalance utilization, enhance equity, and improve clinical and economic outcomes.
