Cardiac conditions other than CAD are frequent in patients with PADs. This is especially the case for heart failure and atrial fibrillation in patients with LEAD. In patients with symptomatic PADs, screening for heart failure should be considered. In patients with heart failure, screening for LEAD may be considered. Full vascular assessment is indicated in patients planned for heart transplantation or cardiac assist device. In patients with stable PADs who have AF, anticoagulation is the priority and suffices in most cases. In the case of recent endovascular revascularization, a period of combination therapy (anticoagulant + antiplatelet therapies) should be considered according to the bleeding and thrombotic risks. The period of combination therapy should be as brief as possible. In patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation or other structural interventions, screening for LEAD and UEAD is indicated.

In 2011, the ESC published its first Guidelines on the Diagnosis and Management of Peripheral Arterial Diseases. This publication filled an important gap within the ESC guidelines documents compendium. Meanwhile, the ESVS released on a regular basis several guidelines documents on the management of specific localizations of arterial diseases. Both societies emphasized the need for a multidisciplinary management of these patients. When the decision was made to update these guidelines, it appeared obvious that the combination of efforts from both societies would provide the most comprehensive single document, providing updated guidelines on peripheral arterial diseases (PADs) for clinicians.
