PAD in Europe: the challenge of late presentation

In this exclusive PVI online interview, Prof. Athanasios Saratzis speaks with Dr Ralf Langhoff about the key challenge facing peripheral artery disease (PAD) care across Europe.

Despite growing awareness among healthcare professionals, chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) remains a major concern, as many patients still present too late for optimal treatment.

Beyond the need to improve patient awareness, Dr Langhoff discusses the increasing pressure on healthcare systems, the need for stronger evidence—particularly for below-the-knee (BTK) interventions—and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration.

He also highlights the unique format of the PVI Course, where open discussions and expert interaction bring together evidence, clinical experience and everyday practice to address the challenges shaping the future of PAD care.

Watch now to hear Dr Langhoff's perspective on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of PAD care.
