Peripheral Artery Disease and Venous Thromboembolic Events After Acute Coronary Syndrome: Role of Lipoprotein(a) and Modification by Alirocumab: Prespecified Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial

Pre-specified analysis of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES RCT (n=18,924) found that the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) events is related to lipoprotein(a) level, but not baseline LDL level. Alirocumab reduced PAD events (HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.54-0.89) in this study vs placebo.

SPS commentary:

Reduction in PAD events with alirocumab was associated with baseline lipoprotein(a) but not LDL level.
