Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
The recruitment start and end dates are as follows:
01 Feb 2003
31 Jan 2007
2008 Results article in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19022184 results
You can take part if:
1. Patients with stable mild to moderate intermittent claudication2. Patients satisfying the criteria of the Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire3. Patients suitable for aorto-iliac or femoro-popliteal PTA after duplex mapping or diagnostic arteriography4. 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
You may not be able to take part if:
1. Patients with intermittent claudication too mild for patient or doctor to consider PTA2. Patients with intermittent claudication severe enough to merit consideration of bypass surgery3. Patients with critical ischaemia i.e. absolute Doppler pressure <50 mmHg, or presence of ulcers or gangrene with a Doppler pressure >50 mmHg4. 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
Below are the locations for where you can take part in the trial. Please note that not all sites may be open.
