Infrainguinal revascularization improved patient function and well-being for peripheral vascular disease. Baseline health status predicted outcomes, with many patients not feeling fully recovered at six months.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Patient Outcomes
  • Quality of Life

Background:

  • Severe peripheral vascular disease (PVD) significantly impacts patient function and well-being.
  • Infrainguinal revascularization is a critical intervention for limb salvage and functional improvement in PVD patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess functional status, well-being, and symptom relief post-infrainguinal revascularization.
  • To identify predictors of positive outcomes after revascularization for severe PVD.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective assessment using validated questionnaires for symptoms, function, and well-being.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, comorbidities, surgical details, and graft outcomes via vascular registry.

Main Results:

  • High graft patency (93% primary, 95% secondary) and limb salvage (97%) rates at 6 months.
  • Significant improvements reported in daily activities, mental well-being, vitality, and PVD symptoms.
  • Baseline patient-reported health status was the sole independent predictor of improved outcomes; only 45% felt "back to normal" at 6 months.

Conclusions:

  • Baseline health status significantly influences recovery and symptom resolution after infrainguinal revascularization.
  • Patient expectations for returning to normal function may require longer than the 6-month follow-up period.
