TASC II guidelines

The TASC II guidelines, developed by the European Society for Vascular Surgery, provide standards for diagnosing and treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which is a condition where arteries in the legs narrow or block. They help doctors determine the severity of the disease and recommend appropriate interventions, such as lifestyle changes, medication, or procedures like angioplasty or surgery. The goal is to improve blood flow, reduce symptoms, and prevent complications like ulcers or amputation. Overall, TASC II offers a structured approach to ensure consistent, effective care for patients with PAD.
