Peripheral artery disease (PAD) of the lower extremities, which pose a major challenge in the field of global public health, has seen a rising trend in its incidence and disability rate year by year. With the continuous innovation of new diagnostic techniques, imaging evaluation methods, and treatment strategies, profound changes have taken place in the diagnosis and treatment paradigm in this field. Based on the “European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) 2024 Clinical Practice Guidelines on the Management of Asymptomatic Lower Limb Peripheral Arterial Disease and Intermittent Claudication” issued by the European Society for Vascular Surgery in 2024, we systematically review the relevant international guidelines in recent years and conduct horizontal comparisons. Combining with the latest clinical research evidence, it conducts an in-depth analysis from the perspective of evidence-based medicine on the strategic evolution, technical key point updates, and clinical evidence levels of endovascular treatment for lower extremity PAD. The aim is to provide an evidence-based medical basis for clinical decision-making.
