Prevalence of lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) is increasing with age, and there is a trend over the last decade towards an increase of LEAD patients. These patients are at increased risk of lower limb adverse event (MALE), but also at very high risk of major cardiovascular events (MACE). The best medical treatment, including medications, enable a reduction of this risk. Nevertheless, some patients will continue to develop MACE. New therapeutic molecules have been developed with randomized controlled trials, and showed a reduction of the -cardiovascular risk among these selected patients.
