Peripheral arterial disease is a condition associated with high rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, increased risk of adverse limb events, including development of critical limb ischemia and amputation, and also with decreased quality of life. This manuscript provides an overview of the medical management of patients with peripheral arterial disease. We discuss contemporary therapies that decrease major adverse cardiovascular and limb events among patients with peripheral arterial disease, and also therapies that improve the patient's ability to walk and quality of life in general.
