Abstract No. 38 Trends in Diagnosis and Treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease in the Medicare Population from 2011 to 2021

There have been recent advances in endovascular treatments of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), specifically atherectomy. We sought to assess whether there was any impact on the utilization of diagnostic imaging —CT angiography (CTA) and MR angiography (MRA)—and treatments—stenting, angioplasty, atherectomy, and bypass—in PAD both generally and across different physician specialties and healthcare facilities.
