In this issue of Angiology, Lin et al evaluated the risk of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). They compared the incidence of PAD in a cohort of 6590 patients with AAA versus 6590 controls without AAA. They showed that the incidence of PAD was >3.5-fold greater in the AAA compared with the non-AAA cohort (14.1 vs 3.66/1000 person-years; crude hazard ratio [HR] 1⁄4 3.70; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1⁄4 3.00-4.55; adjusted HR 1⁄4 3.56; 95% CI1⁄4 2.89-4.39). This editorial considers some additional aspects of this topic.
