Lead Sponsor:

The Cleveland Clinic

Conditions:

Peripheral Vascular Disease

Eligibility:

All Genders

40-85 years

Brief Summary

The specific aims of the project are as follows: To determine whether catheter-based revascularization procedures improve functional capacity and quality of life among patients with intermittent clau...

Detailed Description

Patients with intermittent claudication have decreased functional abilities and impaired quality of life \[QOL\]. In addition, peripheral arterial disease is associated with an increased risk of a lif...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • • Males and female between 40 and 85 years of age
  • subjects referred to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation for a catheter-based revascularization procedure as treatment of intermittent claudication
  • Leg symptoms consistent with intermittent claudication for a period of at least 3 months
  • Ankle-brachial index (ABI) in the leg to be revascularized must be \< 0.90 or demonstration of post exercise fall in ABI to \< 0.9 for subjects with aortoiliac disease
  • Subjects scheduled for both aortoiliac and/or femoropopliteal revascularization procedures will be eligible
  • Subjects with bilateral leg symptoms may be enrolled, as long as bilateral revascularization procedures are planned

Exclusion

  • • Vascular anatomy inappropriate for a catheter-based procedure on the basis of non-invasive studies
  • Critical limb ischemia (rest pain, non-healing ulcer, gangrene)
  • Contraindication to contrast arteriography
  • Vascular surgery or prior catheter-based vascular intervention within the preceding 6 months
  • Patients with suspected or confirmed graft stenoses or occlusions
  • Myocardial infarction or hospitalization for unstable angina, coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention, within the preceding one month
  • Stroke or transient ischemic attack within the preceding one month
  • Pregnancy or planned pregnancy during the one year of participation in the trial.
  • Any active chronic inflammatory condition,including autoimmune disorder or active malignancy.Subjects unable to walk, amputees, and subjects with a contraindication to treadmill exercise.
  • Patients with dementia or other significant cognitive impairment
  • Patients who are non-English speaking, (due to the need for subjects to complete standardized questionnaires)
