• To promote the international collaboration and data sharing among registries in the treatment of PAD
• To analyse variability in practice patterns in PAD
• To evaluate evolving technologies in diagnostics, devices, drugs and biologics options to improve PAD treatment.
• To confirm on going changes in management of PAD diseases over the time.
• To monitor real clinical practice patterns and outcomes after PAD revascularisations and to compare it with international Clinical Practice Guidelines recommendations.
• To register based RCT on treatment practice

Current projects:
• Optimal Pharmacological Treatment in Patients with Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease
