One of the hardest sentences a patient can hear is, "There are no more options." Every week through the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline, I hear from people living with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) who have been told amputation may be their only path forward. Those conversations are exactly why we created the Global PAD Impact Awards. These awards recognize physicians, researchers, healthcare teams, innovators, and advocates whose impact is measured not only by what they accomplish in medicine, but by the hope they bring to patients and families facing some of life's most difficult moments. It is my honor to recognize Dr. Miguel Manzur as the recipient of the inaugural America's Vascular Surgeon of the Year Award. Patients consistently describe Dr. Manzur as a physician who combines extraordinary technical skill with humility, compassion, and a willingness to explore every appropriate option before accepting defeat. In our conversation, we discuss complex limb salvage, Peripheral Artery Disease, Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia, vascular surgery, and what every patient should know when they're told there are no more treatment options. My hope is that this conversation not only celebrates Dr. Manzur, but helps patients better understand their disease, ask better questions, and recognize that every case deserves thoughtful evaluation. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), don't ignore symptoms like leg pain while walking, non-healing wounds, or changes in the color or temperature of your feet. Early diagnosis and treatment can help save limbs and save lives. Subscribe for future Global PAD Impact Awards and conversations dedicated to improving care for patients around the world. Disclaimer The Global PAD Impact Awards are based on patient nominations and the experiences shared with the Global PAD Association. They are intended to recognize contributions to PAD care and should not be considered an endorsement of any physician, healthcare organization, product, device, or therapy. Every patient's medical situation is unique, and outcomes can vary. Always discuss your individual condition and treatment options with your own healthcare team. If you'd like help understanding your diagnosis or exploring whether a second opinion may be appropriate for your specific presentation of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), contact the Global PAD Association's free Leg Saver Hotline at 1-833-PAD-LEGS. Topics covered: Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI), vascular surgery, women in vascular medicine, limb preservation, limb salvage, patient-centered care, multidisciplinary care, medical leadership, patient advocacy, second opinions, Venita Chandra, Global PAD Association, Global PAD Impact Awards. 🎙️ JOIN THE CONVERSATION We want to hear from you!
