Healthcare resource utilization and costs of major atherothrombotic vascular events among patients with peripheral artery disease after revascularization

CONCLUSION: Patients with PAD who experience major atherothrombotic vascular events post-revascularization have considerably higher healthcare resource use and costs compared with similar metrics pre-revascularization. Therefore, reducing the rate of such events could reduce overall healthcare costs for this population.PMID:33634723 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2021.1891089
