Who is involved within a multidisciplinary team to treat peripheral arterial disease?

It's very important for patients to be referred to teams which are based on different specialties. So essentially the peripheral tear disease, it never comes alone. So there are many other things which need to be taken in account and there are many specialists who can give different contributions to the care of the patient. I mean, if you have an ulcer, and for example, you have a lack of blood supply, of course, the vascular surgeons will take or, you know, the vascular specialists will take care of restoring the blood flow to the ischemic toes or ischemic forefoot. But at the same time, there should be, for example, a podiatrist, which is going to, you know, try to take care of the ulcer and eventually, you know, manage shoes after possible amputation of toes. And there's people like a diabetologist who need to take care of their diabetes, which many times is uncontrolled. So it's very important for these specialists to take care of, you know, the event not to reoccur again, because it is, at least has been demonstrated that the high level and uncontrolled level diabetes bring more easily to tissue loss. There's of course, there's a physiotherapist, there's microbiologists involved in the management of the antibiotics, if the ulcer is infected. So many different people, and also of course, as a radiologist who looks at the x-rays and MRIs and try to better understand the amount of the disease and the surgeon who opens the foot and eventually drain the abscess in case there is or perform even small amputation. So as I said you know the more I talk the more different figures come to my mind and the more it's important that all these figures are working together in a very protected environment and meeting together examining the patient together in order to get get the best results.
