A new report in the Journal of Vascular Surgery chronicles a multi-site randomized controlled trial comparing treatment efficacy, functional outcomes, cost effectiveness and quality of life for various treatments for critical limb ischemia (CLI). The trial will enroll 2,100 patients suffering from CLI, a debilitating and increasingly common manifestation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) that puts patients at high risk for leg amputation, cardiovascular complications and death.

Researchers have identified another reason to limit red meat consumption: high levels of a gut-generated chemical called trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) that is also linked to heart disease. Scientists found that people who eat a diet rich in red meat have triple the TMAO levels of those who eat a diet rich in either white meat or mostly plant-based proteins, but discontinuation of red meat eventually lowers those TMAO levels.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter Jan. 17, 2019, to healthcare providers regarding a recent publication that suggests a possible increased risk of death at two years and beyond in patients treated for a type of peripheral artery disease (PAD) with paclitaxel-coated balloons or paclitaxel-eluting stents. The letter was issued in response to a recent publication in the Journal of the American Heart Association identifying the risk. It recommends doctors continue to monitor these patients, and discuss the benefits and risks of all available treatment options for patients with PAD.
