Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patients with stable mild to moderate intermittent claudication
  • 2\. Patients satisfying the criteria of the Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire
  • 3\. Patients suitable for aorto\-iliac or femoro\-popliteal PTA after duplex mapping or diagnostic arteriography
  • 4\. Ankle Brachial Pressure Indices (ABPI) \<0\.9 or \>0\.9 with a positive stress test i.e. a fall of \>30 mmHg following a treadmill test at 4 km/h, 10 degree slope for 1 min

Exclusion Criteria

  • 1\. Patients with intermittent claudication too mild for patient or doctor to consider PTA
  • 2\. Patients with intermittent claudication severe enough to merit consideration of bypass surgery
  • 3\. Patients with critical ischaemia i.e. absolute Doppler pressure \<50 mmHg, or presence of ulcers or gangrene with a Doppler pressure \>50 mmHg
  • 4\. Patients with ankle/brachial pressure index (ABPI) \>0\.9 with a negative stress test who could have sciatica or very mild peripheral arterial disease (insignificant arterial disease)
  • 5\. Patients with musculoskeletal, cardiac or any other concomitant disease that renders consideration for supervised exercise inappropriate
