Introduction: Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a chronic atherosclerotic condition with a high associated cardiovascular risk. Conservative management, including risk factor modification and medical therapy, is the mainstay of care for non-critical cases. This study evaluates the clinical profile and outcome of conservative management in 50 patients with lower limb PVD. Material and Methods: This was a prospective study of 50 patients with lower limb PVD admitted to Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, from February 2023 - March 2025.
