The International BEST-CLI Collaborative is taking a long view of PAD and CLTI
The goal is not just to ‘bend the curve’ of morbidity and mortality but to aim towards a ‘cure’ for CLTI
This is an ambitious and multidecade goal but is essential to improve health and decrease amputations for these patients
As a next step, the Collaborative aims to gather resources and create a durable vehicle to develop new and amplify existing science on CLTI and PAD, and to advance the awareness, access to treatment, detection, diagnosis, and prevention of CLTI
There is a growing awareness of the unmet need for improvement in treatments of PAD patients that makes this an ideal moment for a thoughtful global approach to mitigating this disease process
