NCT01378260

  Purpose

The specific aim of this study is to prospectively compare outcomes (functional, quality of life, risk-adjusted clinical event) of medical management, surgical or endovascular (angioplasty or stent placement) interventions for the treatment of claudication caused by peripheral arterial disease. This study will test two major hypotheses;

Hypothesis 1: At 12-months, surgical interventions are associated with greater improvements in function, claudication symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than endovascular procedures or medical management.

Hypothesis 2: At 12-months, surgical and endovascular interventions are associated with greater improvements in function, claudication symptoms, and HRQoL than medical management.

Further study details as provided by University of Washington:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The primary outcome is the change in score on the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) from the baseline assessment to the 12-month assessment. [ Time Frame: 12-Months Post-Index Date ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The primary outcome of the study, and the outcome on which the study is powered, is the change in score on the WIQ from the baseline assessment to the 12-month assessment. There are three subscales within the WIQ; summary scores will be calculated separately for each - the walk distance, walk speed, stair climb.


Estimated Enrollment: 1100
Study Start Date: July 2011
Estimated Study Completion Date: September 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: June 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts
Surgical Bypass
use of synthetic or endogenous (vein) or composite graft to treat lesions in the superficial femoral, common femoral, or popliteal artery
Endovascular Therapy
angioplasty and/or stent to treat lesions in the superficial femoral or popliteal artery
Medical Management

Documentation of the following in the medical record:

i. Walking/physical therapy to improve endurance was recommended; ii. For tobacco users, tobacco cessation was recommended; iii. Prescribing pentoxifylline (Trental) or cilostazol (pletal) iv. Ongoing care by physician for treatment of claudication


  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   21 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

patients being seen by a physician with newly diagnosed or established claudication

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of claudication
  2. Be undergoing one of three treatments for claudication:

    • Surgical bypass (use of synthetic or endogenous (vein) or composite graft to treat lesions in the superficial femoral, common femoral or popliteal artery)
    • Endovascular therapy (angioplasty and/or stent to treat lesions in the superficial femoral, common femoral or popliteal artery)
    • Medical management (i.e. smoking cessation, walking therapy, long-term monitoring by physician)

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. those with documented acute ischemia, rest pain or ulceration
  2. those with claudication determined to be of aortic or iliac origin
  3. those with claudication that is not caused by atherosclerotic disease
  4. those without access to a telephone or Internet and are unwilling to participate in surveys by mail at home (assess in patient screen)
  5. those who otherwise refuse to participate (assessed in patient screen)
  6. those who have a diagnosis of dementia confirmed in their medical record
  7. those who are not English speaking
  8. children and young adults up to and including age 20-years
