Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common condition characterized by atherosclerosis in the peripheral arteries, associated with concomitant coronary and cerebrovascular diseases. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors are a class of drugs that have shown potential in hypercholesterolemic patients. This review focuses on the efficacy, safety, and clinical outcomes of PCSK9 inhibitors in PAD based on the literature indexed by PubMed. Trials such as FOURIER and ODYSSEY demonstrate the efficacy of evolocumab and alirocumab in reducing cardiovascular events, offering a potential treatment option for PAD patients. Safety evaluations from trials show few adverse events, most of which are injection-site reactions, indicating the overall safety profile of PCSK9 inhibitors. Clinical outcomes show a reduction in cardiovascular events, ischemic strokes, and major adverse limb events. However, despite these positive findings, PCSK9 inhibitors are still underutilized in clinical practice, possibly due to a lack of awareness among care providers and cost concerns. Further research is needed to establish the long-term effects and cost-effectiveness of PCSK9 inhibitors in PAD patients.
