Exercise Therapy With Risk Factor Management and Life Style Coaching After Vascular Intervention for Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Peripheral Arterial Disease, Rutherford 4 and 5 With Possibility to Improve Vascularization
Registration Number
NCT02110251
Lead Sponsor
Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven
Brief Summary

Patients with peripheral arterial disease with symptoms of critical ischemia or reduced tissue loss have a very high mortality and morbidity rate. So far, treatment strategies focused on the preservation of life and limb by an open surgical or endovascular revascularization, together with cardiovascular risk management and pain relief. Important modifiable factors related to mortality and morbidity are not covered in the current national and international guidelines. This study investigates the effects on mobility, mortality and quality of life with supplementation of the standard treatment of critical limb ischemia with supervised exercise therapy. Also a reduction of cardiovascular risk by intensive risk factor management and lifestyle coaching will be taken in to account. The supervised exercise therapy will take place under the supervision of a trained physiotherapist.
