The 1% egregious actors are tip of the iceberg. The echo chamber ecosystem of KOLs, pseudo-societies and mass marketing meetings is a machine to promote overuse and misuse on a daily basis.

Meanwhile there is inadequate payment and this lack of availability for exercise, and many cannot afford good diabetic footwear. Broken system driven by commercial interests.

Shameful and hopefully too powerful to ignore. Time for regulators and payors to act but we should be taking the lead in defining appropriate care.
The onslaught of stories about #overtreatment of #claudication continues. Powerful @nytimes article on the cover today . And it really hits home. When will it stop???.#WeCanFoBetter #Appropriateness #PADEd @VascularSVS @JudithLin4.

Please keep in mind when trying to interpret single arm data eg from the DVA studies it’s very challenging no control group “no option” CLTI is quite broad eg AFS 60%@ 1 Year.

Shown at the AHA presentation but not in the NEJM article. Not parallel, not close. Is what it is.

Vein bypass associated with <half total major reinterventions over time and no diff in MACE- clearly more effective than Endo by ITT.
BEST-CLI shows bypass to be superior to endovascular revasc in pts with critical limb ischemia and a saphenous vein available as conduit with respect to primary outcome: MALE and all cause mortality! Also less amputations and reinterventions with bypass! #AHA2022
