Intermittent Mechanical Compression For Peripheral Arterial Disease (FM-S1)

March 2, 2009 updated by: Hospital Universitario Getafe

The study tests the use of a portable mechanical compression device (FM220, Flowmedic, USA) for the treatment of claudication and peripheral arterial disease.

Major endpoints are improved exercise tolerance and relevant blood pressure ratios
