Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) for the Treated Limb
Time Frame: Pre-Procedure

A measure of the fall in blood pressure in the arteries supplying the legs and is used to detect evidence of blockages in the peripheral vessels. It is calculated by dividing the higher systolic blood pressure in the ankle (dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial) of the one leg by the higher of the two systolic blood pressures in the arms.

ABI=Highest Ankle Systolic Pressure/Highest Brachial Systolic Pressure. The ABI is the ratio of the ankle to arm pressure, and an ABI between 0.9 and 1.3 is considered normal. A reduced ABI (less than 0.9) is consistent with peripheral artery occlusive disease, with values below 0.8 indicating moderate disease and below 0.5 severe disease.

A value greater than 1.3 is considered abnormal suggesting calcification of the walls of the arteries and noncompressible vessels, reflecting severe peripheral vascular disease. For patients in whom the ABI cannot be accurately measured , toe pressure measurement and toe brachial index should be used.

Walking Impairment Questionnaire Scores
Time Frame: Pre-procedure
Measured by the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ), a disease-specific instrument utilized to characterize walking ability through a questionnaire as an alternative to treadmill testing. It is a measure of subject-perceived walking performance for subjects with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and/or intermittent claudication. The WIQ quantifies patient-reported walking speed, walking distance, and stair-climbing ability, respectively, on a scale of 0 (= worst) to 100 (= best). The highest possible score for each domain is 100%, which indicates no difficulty. Lowest possible score for each domain is 0%, which indicates inability to perform the activity.

Vascular Quality of Life (VascuQol) Total Scores
Time Frame: 1 month

Vascular Quality of Life (VascuQol) : A standardized, validated questionnaire used to evaluate vascular disease-specific health outcomes. VascuQol total score includes scores of Activity Domain, Symptom Domain, Pain Domain, Emotional Domain and Social Domain. Each item is rated as a 7 point response scale, with a score of 1 being the worst and a score of 7 the best possible. The total average score is the sum of all 25 items scores divided by 25. For each separate domain an average score can be calculated (sum of all items of one domain divided by the number of items of that domain). The highest score for each domain is 7, which indicates best health outcome.

There are no sub scales.
