| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We aimed to investigate the characteristics of changes in amount of physical activity of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) before/after endovascular treatment (EVT). Twenty two patients with PAD at stage-II of the Fontaine classification were included in this study. The mean number of walking steps before surgery was 2664 (611-5404) steps, whereas those after surgery was 3393 (567-7578) steps. Physical activity of patients with PAD was still low at 3 months after surgery. Walking steps increased in 17 of them and decreased in 5 of them. Compared with the patients in the increased steps group, those in the decreased-steps group were significantly older, and had a significantly higher cardiovascular event rate within the first 3 months after surgery. These results suggested that, not only the improvement of walking ability, but increase in physical activity after EVT combined with exercise training is also important for short-term prognosis.
