September is recognized as Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Awareness Month. PAD, a circulatory condition that affects an estimated 8.5 million in the U.S., is often an underdiagnosed condition. However, through early detection/screening this condition can be treated when appropriately indicated through Peripheral Vascular Intervention (PVI). Peer Review is one way to ensure patient care and safety for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options. Safeguarding the patients involves the impartial evaluation by experienced professionals, a comprehensive approach that encompasses proper training/credentialing, adherence to protocols, and a commitment to patient-centered care.

Through Corazon's Peer Review and Accreditation services and SCAI as a fundamental partner, being proactive in the advancement and seeking proper measures can lead to continuous growth of your program. This safeguard approach is key not only during PAD Awareness Month but every day for the patients treated.
