Resumo

The Collaboration of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in new Guidelines for Peripheral Arterial Diseases (PAD) is new and very welcome.1 The ESVS Carotid and Vertebral Guidelines have just been published2 and, in this issue, the ESC & ESVS PAD Guidelines will highlight the evidence and views of this multidisciplinary collaboration of specialists in vascular disease in Europe today. As we stress here, these Guidelines emphasise the importance of the multidisciplinary “Vascular Team” in holistic management of these patients, including comprehensive cardiovascular preventive measures and integrated cardiac risk management of PAD patients.
