Use of Vessel Preparation in Endovascular Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Interventions: A Global Qualitative Analysis
This work provides the first international definition and structured aims of VP in PAD. It identifies practical guidance, barriers to adoption, and priorities for future research. Findings will support standardisation in clinical practice, research, and health policy regarding VP technologies in PAD treatment(s).Clinical ImpactThis international consensus provides the first standardised definition, core aims, and practical guidance for vessel preparation in endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), enabling more consistent clinical practice, research design, and health policy development worldwide.
