Anatomic Runoff Score Predicts Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease Undergoing Revascularization

Conclusions After adjustment for clinical factors, the LE-PAD anatomic runoff score was an independent predictor of future cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a broadly-representative patient population undergoing revascularization for symptomatic PAD. A clinically useful anatomic scoring system, if validated, may assist clinicians in risk-stratification during the course of clinical decision-making.
