Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether daily treatment with intermittent pneumatic leg compressions (IPC) following a nonsurgical vascular procedure improves circulation and enhances walking distance.

Description:

Restenosis following revascularization procedures occur frequently and as early as 3 months after the intervention. There is an urgent need for adjunctive therapies that aid in the improvement of tissue blood flow and consequently relieve pain and improve functional capacity in these patients. It has been previously shown that exposure to IPC enhances leg blood flow to collateral-dependent tissues. In this study, subjects who have undergone nonsurgical revascularization will be randomly assigned to two groups: IPC or placebo pump. Subjects will receive a commercially available IPC device (Art Assist, ACI Medical, San Marcos, CA) and will apply the treatment at home for 2 hours daily over 3 consecutive months. At 3 time points (pre, 1 and 3 months post procedure) assessments will be performed (hemodynamics, rest pain, calf muscle oxygenation during exercise, walking endurance and quality of life).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Walking endurance	Change in 6 Minute Walk Test from baseline to 3 months	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months of treatment
Secondary	Ankle-brachial index (ABI)	Change in ABI from baseline to 3 months	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months of treatment
Secondary	Toe-brachial index (TBI)	Change in TBI from baseline to 3 months	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months of treatment
Secondary	Transcutaneous Oxygen Pressure at the dorsum of the foot (TcPO2)	Change in TcPO2 from baseline to 3 months	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months of treatment
Secondary	Rest leg pain	Change in Visual Analog Scale Pain Scale Ruler score (0-100) from baseline to 3 months. 0mm=no pain, 100mm=extreme pain.	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months of treatment
Secondary	Calf circumference	Change in calf circumference tape measure measurement from baseline to 3 months	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months of treatment
Secondary	Vascular Quality of Life Score (VascuQol)	Change in scores for VascuQol Questionnaire from baseline to 3 months. Overall score range is 7-175; higher score means higher quality of life.	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months treatment
Secondary	Quality of Life Score - Short Form-36	Change in scores for Short Form-36 Questionnaire from baseline to 3 months. Eight health concepts scored 0-100 range. High score is a more favorable health state.	Baseline and after 1 and 3 months treatment
