Mission Statement
The PVD Council seeks to integrate the academic and clinical missions of all interdisciplinary vascular health professionals in order to expand professional and public vascular education; to advance the basic science and clinical research and evidence based practice; and to thereby improve clinical outcomes of individuals with PVD.
The risk factors for stroke and heart disease can be similar, so what’s good for the brain is good for the heart. A few simple steps toward getting healthier is a great way to avoid both diseases – and feel better and enjoy your life more. Start by checking your cardiovascular health with the My Life Check® Assessment.

BRIDGE Study BRIDGE LogoWhat is the BRIDGE Study?
Overall, there is uncertainty about the benefit or harm of bridging anticoagulation. This research study will determine the possible benefits and harms of bridging anticoagulation and will inform doctors about the best way to care for patients like you in the future. The BRIDGE study aims to provide definitive evidence about the pros and cons of bridging and will establish a standard-of-care.

Some doctors switch patients from warfarin to heparin around the time of surgeries and procedures (“bridging anticoagulation”), while others simply stop the warfarin. There has never been a controlled study to determine which of these strategies is the best one to prevent arterial thrombotic events (ATEs) or clotting.

More details on the BRIDGE Study on the Professional Online Network.

Contact the investigators if you have potentially eligible patients - https://bridge.dcri.duke.edu/.

Funding Source: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI): NCT00786474
