Peripheral revascularization surgery improved patient outcomes, reducing symptoms and enhancing functioning. Women reported higher satisfaction and functioning levels post-surgery, indicating potential gender-specific benefits in peripheral vascular disease (PVD) care.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Patient Outcomes Research
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Acquired peripheral vascular disease (PVD) significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in the United States.
  • Peripheral revascularization surgery is a critical intervention for managing PVD.
  • Understanding patient outcomes and influencing factors is essential for optimizing care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine patient outcomes following peripheral revascularization surgery.
  • To examine PVD-related clinical symptoms, patient functioning, atherosclerotic disease risk factor reduction, and satisfaction.
  • To assess the influence of patient demographics (gender, age) on these outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, repeated measures pilot study design.

  • Involved 39 patients (18 women, 21 men) with a mean age of 68.86 years.
  • Assessed outcomes at baseline and 1 month post-discharge, including clinical symptoms, functioning (MOS SF-36), risk factors, and satisfaction.

    • Main Results:

    • Majority of patients experienced relief from claudication and paresthesia 1 month post-discharge.
    • Significant improvement in general health subscale scores (MOS SF-36) observed.
    • Women reported significantly higher levels of functioning and satisfaction compared to men.
    • No significant differences in risk factor modification by gender or age.

    Conclusions:

    • Peripheral revascularization surgery positively impacts PVD patient outcomes, improving symptoms and functioning.
    • Gender may influence patient-reported outcomes, with women showing higher functioning and satisfaction.
    • Further interventions for exercise and behavior modification are warranted for atherosclerotic risk reduction.
    • Findings highlight the need to reduce clinical practice variability for optimal patient results.
