To Assess the Safety and Feasibility of a Structured Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease After Successful Revascularization Procedures: A Pilot Study.
The main purpose of this study is to see if it is safe and feasible to use cardiac
rehabilitation (CR) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) after successful
revascularization. This study will also test if CR improves quality of life and health
outcomes in PAD patients.
rehabilitation (CR) in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) after successful
revascularization. This study will also test if CR improves quality of life and health
outcomes in PAD patients.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with PAD post-revascularization (stent, angioplasty, or bypass).
- Patients must have the ability to ambulate safely without assistance and should not
have plans for undergoing further staged revascularization procedures.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Below or above the knee amputation.
- Underlying cardiopulmonary or other co-morbidity that would be an exclusion under
currently approved standard CR protocols at the University of Kansas Medical Center
(KUMC).
- Unfavorable short term prognosis and limited life expectancy (<2 years)
- Awaiting a planned staged revascularization in same or other leg (patients will be
eligible once no further procedures are planned).
- Prior history of having dropped out of CR without completing.
- Unwilling to consent for all aspects of CR or study participation.
- Unable to come for CR (this will exclude patients who live far away or have no means
