The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a community-based structured exercise therapy (CB-SET) intervention, which could be accessible and easily disseminated, adds benefit to peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients undergoing revascularization (REVASC) to improve their function and cardiovascular health.
Training (T): Patients assigned to the control group will receive verbal advice to exercise but will receive no other training following their revascularization and outcome assessments. Patients in the intervention group will receive supervised SET in the exercise physiology laboratory for one week (3 sessions) following their REVASC and outcome assessments. Patients will then receive 11 weeks of community-based structured exercise therapy (CB-SET) with training, monitoring, and coaching (TMC) and public health elements at home or in the place of their choosing. Patients will be visited by stu…
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients receiving Revascularization for aorto-iliac and/or femoral-popliteal disease in at least one limb * Patients with focal and/or diffuse peripheral artery disease * Bilateral Revascularization patients will also be included * Ability to participate in an exercise program Exclusion Criteria: * Lower extremity amputation(s) which interfere(s) with walking on the treadmill * Individuals with critical limb ischemia defined by ischemic rest pain or ischemic ulcers/gangrene on the lower extremities * PAD of non-atherosclerotic nature (e.g., fibromuscular dysplasia, ir…
Community-based structured exercise therapy (CB-SET) programs for PAD have potential merit as an alternative to hospital-based SET, as they may provide similar benefit to hospital-based programs but in a convenient location for the exercise to be completed
Endovascular revascularization is a primary treatment option for patients with PAD
