Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) often complain of reduced physical activity (PA) despite improvements in intermittent claudication after successful endovascular treatment (EVT). Sarcopenia resulting from chronic ischemia can affect post-EVT PA levels. OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the association between sarcopenia and post-EVT PA levels. METHODS One hundred five patients with PAD were consecutively enrolled in this study. PA was assessed using the post-EVT step count and the pre-EVT International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia and defined as low muscle mass and strength, and/or slow walking speed. The patients were categorized into three groups: 1) patients with sarcopenia (Sarcopenia Group); 2) patients with only low muscle mass or strength, and/or slow walking speed (Suspected-Sarcopenia Group); and 3) patients who did not fulfill all the sarcopenia criteria (No-Sarcopenia Group). RESULTS Proportions of patients in the Sarcopenia, Suspected-Sarcopenia, and No-Sarcopenia Groups were 31.4, 38.1, and 30.5%, respectively. After controlling for potential confounders, the Sarcopenia Group demonstrated significantly lower step counts than the Suspected-Sarcopenia Group (p = .016) and No-Sarcopenia Group (p = .009). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that patients with PAD and sarcopenia require rehabilitation strategies to enhance physical performance.

Abstract
Objective Exercise therapy has acceptable outcomes for patients with intermittent claudication (IC), but there are few reports on the results of continuous unsupervised exercise therapy after endovascular treatment (EVT) for an iliac lesion. The aim of this study is to analyze the long-term outcomes of unsupervised exercise therapy for patients after EVT. Material and Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 76 patients (93 limbs) with IC who underwent iliac EVT from 2012 to 2020 at our hospital. Maintenance of unsupervised exercise therapy was evaluated at 6 months after EVT. Long-term outcomes such as primary patency, clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR), survival, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were compared between patients who continued (cET group) or discontinued (dET group) unsupervised exercise therapy. Results A total of 28 patients (37%) continued unsupervised exercise therapy until 6 months after EVT for an iliac lesion. There were no differences in patient background and procedural details between the cET and dET groups. The follow-up rate was 96% in a median follow-up period of 35 [25 – 42] months. The mean exercise time in the cET group was 52 ± 18 minutes daily, with a mean frequency of 5.8 ± 1.1 days per week. The median step count in the cET group was 5559 ± 2908 steps daily. At 3 years, the cET group had significantly higher rates for primary patency (97% vs 71%, P = .002), and freedom from CD-TLR (97% vs 79%, P = .007); and a tendency for higher survival (100% vs 94%, P = .074), and higher freedom from MACE (89% vs 73%, P = .12). Conclusion The findings of this study suggested superior long-term outcomes, including primary patency, freedom from CD-TLR, survival, and freedom from MACE, in patients who maintained continuous unsupervised exercise therapy after EVT.

Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2022; 64:417-426.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of physical activity (PA) and tobacco use on adverse clinical outcomes after revascularisation for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the Western Pacific region, where PAD cases and tobacco use are among the highest in the world. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study using the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database and included patients who had received revascularisation for PAD between 2010 and 2015. They were categorised as active or inactive based on the number of days per week they engaged in PA and as current or non-tobacco users (self report). The primary outcome was all cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included major adverse outcome (a composite of all cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke) and major adverse limb event (MALE, a composite of amputation and recurrent revascularisation). RESULTS The relatively healthy cohort comprised 8 324 patients (mean age 64.7 years; 76.9% male) following revascularisation for PAD. Among them, 32.7% were inactive and 26.4% were tobacco users. Active patients had better outcomes than inactive patients (all cause mortality adjusted hazard ratio [adjHR] 0.766; 95% CI 0.685 - 0.855, major adverse outcome adjHR 0.795; 95% CI 0.719 - 0.878, MALE adjHR 0.858; 95% CI 0.773 - 0.953). Tobacco users had poorer outcomes than non-users (all cause mortality adjHR 1.279; 95% CI 1.124 - 1.456, major adverse outcome adjHR 1.263; 95% CI 1.124 - 1.418, MALE adjHR 1.291; 95% CI 1.143 - 1.458). CONCLUSION Even after receiving revascularisation for PAD, a sizable proportion of patients were physically inactive and used tobacco, leading to adverse clinical outcomes such as death, cardiovascular morbidity, and amputation in Korea. These modifiable risk factors should be addressed systematically, and a comprehensive approach including supervised exercise programmes and tobacco cessation is needed in patients with PAD.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a phenotype of atherosclerotic disease often associated with cerebrovascular or coronary artery disease. The incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with PAD is 5.4% per year, which is higher than that of cerebrovascular or coronary artery disease. The most useful screening method for PAD is the ankle brachial pressure index (ABI). The ABI should be measured in (1) all patients with lower limb symptoms such as claudication, (2) all patients aged 65 years and over, and (3) those aged 50 to 65 years who have risk factors such as smoking and diabetes mellitus. PAD is diagnosed if the ABI is <0.9. A comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program includes complete smoking cessation, blood pressure control with antihypertensive medications and salt reduction for hypertension, glycemic control for diabetes mellitus, and appropriate medications such as antiplatelet agents and statins. A multidisciplinary team approach is effective in comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation for patients with PAD, even those with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Exercise therapy is a crucial and essential treatment for PAD, except in CLI. Exercise therapy is contraindicated in patients with acute arterial occlusion and CLI with infection. PAD is often associated with other atherosclerotic diseases; the patient should be monitored for ischemic heart disease during the initial exercise stress test using the Gardner treadmill protocol. Supervised exercise therapy is highly recommended (Class I, Level of Evidence A). Alternatively, a home-based exercise program is feasible (Class IIa, Level of Evidence A). The exercise type (treadmill, track walking, ergometer), frequency (3 to 5 days per week), intensity (speed and incline), and duration (30 minutes) are determined based on the exercise stress test results for each patient. Exercise should be continued at least 3 times a week for at least 12 weeks. Cilostazol is highly recommended (Class I, Level of Evidence A).

Abstract
[Purpose] To examine the differences in rehabilitation progress after lower-extremity
bypass surgery for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) depending on the occlusive lesions.
[Participants and Methods] This was a retrospective study. We included 50 patients (61
limbs; 38 males and 12 females; mean age, 73 years) who underwent lower-extremity bypass
surgery for Fontaine stage 2–3 PAD. The patients were assigned to the aortoiliac (A-I)
group (n=23), femoropopliteal (F-P) group (n=18), and below-knee group (n=9). We evaluated
the postoperative rehabilitation progress and length of hospital stay of these groups.
[Results] The postoperative ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) of the A-I group was
significantly lower than that of the F-P group, although there were no differences before
surgery. The progress of rehabilitation and the length of hospitalization showed no
significant differences among the three groups. The postoperative date of independent
walking was significantly later in the presence of complications than in the absence of
complications. [Conclusion] The progress of rehabilitation after lower-extremity bypass
surgery did not differ depending on the occlusive lesions, and patients may acquire
independent walking ability in approximately 5 days in the absence of postoperative
complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to clarify the effect of home-based exercise therapy on physical activity in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients after EVT. METHODS Study design was controlled clinical design. The subjects were 30 patients (76.6% men) who underwent EVT in the Sakakibara Heart Institute of Okayama. Patients with EVT meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups, intervention group (Home-based exercise) and control group. Patients' basic characteristics, the number of steps walked and QOL questionnaire (WIQ, SEPA, Vascu QOL) were assessed before surgery and, at the 3 month after discharge. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to compare number of steps walked and QOL questionnaire. RESULTS Interaction effect were observed in the number of steps walked (F (1,28) =13.89, p<0.01). A multiple comparison test confirmed a significant increase between results of before surgery and at three months after surgery in the intervention group (p<0.01). An interaction between the presence and absence of intervention was found for the WIQ pain score (F(1,28) = 5.86, p=0.01), speed score (F(1,28) = 3.80, p=0.04) and SEPA (F(1,28) = 4.99, p=0.03). In a multiple comparison study, there was a significant increase in WIQ pain and speed scores in both groups before and 3 months after discharge from the hospital. CONCLUSION Home-based exercise therapy using physical activity indices has the potential to improve number of steps and quality of life in patients with PAD after EVT.

Abstract
Objective: To identify interventions using wearable accelerometers to measure physical activity and/or sedentary behaviour in adults during hospitalization for an acute medical/surgical condition. Data sources: Four databases were searched in August 2019 (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, EMBASE). Review methods: Studies were selected if they described an intervention in adults with a medical/surgical condition, and concurrently reported an accelerometer-derived measure of physical activity and/or sedentary behaviour while participants were admitted. Items were screened for eligibility in duplicate. Included studies were synthesized to describe intervention types, feasibility and potential effectiveness. Results: Twenty-two studies were included, reporting on 3357 participants (2040 with accelerometer data). Identified types of interventions were: pre-habilitation ( n = 2) exercise ( n = 3), patient behaviour change with self-monitoring ( n = 6), models of care ( n = 5), implementing system change ( n = 2), surgical technique ( n = 2) patients wearing day clothes ( n = 1) and education about activity in hospital ( n = 1). Of 16 studies that reported intervention effects on physical activity, 11 reported a favourable impact including studies of: pre-habilitation, self-monitoring (accelerometry or an activity whiteboard), physiotherapy, an early mobility bundle, minimally invasive surgery, an education booklet and by implementing system change. Of the six studies that reported intervention effects on sedentary behaviour, there was a favourable impact with an activity whiteboard, models of care and an education booklet. Conclusion: Accelerometer-derived measures of physical activity and/or sedentary behaviour have been used to describe sample characteristics and intervention effects in studies of hospitalized adults. Interventions may involve a range of health professionals, but less is known about sedentary behaviour in this setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In older adults, the psychological impact and effects related to the loss of functional capacity are directly related to perceived quality of life (QOL). The predictors of better QOL are increased physical activity, lower prevalence of overweight, lower cases of depression, and lower rate of reported alcohol abuse. On the contrary, the predictors of decreased QOL are female gender, comorbidity, deficient nutritional condition, polypharmacy, loss of mobility, depression and dependency, poor economic conditions, and social isolation and loneliness. Furthermore, QOL in older adults is more dependent on the number of falls than comorbidity. The objective was to investigate the determinants of perceived QOL among independent community-dwelling older adults and to quantify the influence of number of falls and number of risk factors on QOL. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study of 572 older adults (>70 years of age) seen in 10 primary care centers in La Ribera, Valencia, Spain. Comprehensive geriatric assessment was done by 4 nurses in primary care centers. Functional status and sociodemographic and clinical variables were collected. Quality of life was assessed with the EQ-5D scale. RESULTS Females predominated (63.3%). Mean age (standard deviation) was 76.1 (3.9) years. The male gender (β = .09; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.05-0.13) was found to be predictive of better QOL, together with physical activity (β = .04; 95% CI: 0.02-0.06), while the use of drugs affecting the central nervous system (β = -.08; 95% CI: -0.12 to -0.03), overweight (β = -.06; 95% CI: 0.1 to - 0.02), comorbidity (β = -.09; 95% CI: -0.13 to -0.05), the presence of fall risk factors (β = -.02; 95% CI: -0.03 to 0.01), and the number of previous falls (β = -.03; 95% CI: -0.06 to 0.01) had a negative impact upon the EQ-5D Index score. CONCLUSIONS If perceived QOL is used as an indicator of the success of intervention programs, certain factors accompanying the adoption of measures for the prevention of falls may mask the results (failure or success) of the intervention. Because most determinants of QOL are modifiable and physical activity has the potential to improve QOL, this research suggests that physical activity programs should be a component of health care for older adults.

The Effect of Supervised Exercise, Home Based Exercise and Endovascular Revascularisation on Physical Activity in Patients With Intermittent Claudication: A Network Meta-analysis. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2019; 58:383-392.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether supervised exercise therapy (SET), home based exercise therapy (HBET), and endovascular revascularisation (ER) for intermittent claudication (IC) have a meaningful impact on physical activity, despite extensive research on their effect on walking performance. METHODS Multiple databases were searched systematically up to May 2018 for randomised controlled trials with objective measurements of physical activity in patients with IC. A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed comparing the change in physical activity between baseline and follow up between treatments (SET, HBET, ER) and control (usual care). The standardised mean difference (SMD) with 95% credible interval (CI) was calculated as a summary statistic and converted into steps per day to aid interpretation. RESULTS Eight trials involving 656 patients with IC investigating the short-term effect of treatment on daily physical activity were included. Both SET (SMD 0.41, 95% CI 0.10-0.72: this corresponds to a difference of + 803 steps/day on a pedometer) and HBET (SMD 0.50, 95% CI 0.18-0.88: + 980 steps/day) displayed a benefit over control, based on evidence of moderate and low quality, respectively. The benefit of ER compared with control was SMD 0.36 (95% CI -0.22 to 0.99: + 705 steps/day), but only one trial supplied direct evidence, resulting in a low rating of the quality of evidence. Comparisons between treatments yielded no statistically significant differences. The results were robust to several sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION SET improves daily physical activity levels in patients with IC over control. HBET may have a similar benefit, while invasive treatment failed to lead to a statistically significant improvement of physical activity compared with control. However, the underlying quality of evidence for comparisons with ER and HBET is low, impeding definite conclusions.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with augmented blood pressure (BP) and impaired coronary blood flow responses to exercise, which may increase cardiovascular risk. We investigated the effects of leg revascularization on the BP and coronary blood flow responses to exercise in PAD. Seventeen PAD patients (11 men, 66 ± 2 yr) performed single-leg plantar flexion exercise 24 h before and 1 mo following leg revascularization. BP and heart rate (HR) were measured continuously, and rate pressure product (systolic BP × HR) was calculated as an index of myocardial oxygen demand. Coronary blood velocity was obtained by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in 8/17 subjects. The mean BP response to plantar flexion exercise was attenuated by leg revascularization (pre-revascularization: 15 ± 4 vs. post-revascularization: 7 ± 3 mmHg, P = 0.025). The HR response to plantar flexion was also attenuated following leg revascularization (pre-revascularization: 9 ± 1 vs. post-revascularization: 6 ± 1 beats/min, P = 0.006). The change in coronary blood velocity with exercise was greater at the post-revascularization visit: 4 ± 1 vs. pre-revascularization: -1 ± 2 cm/s ( P = 0.038), even though the change in rate pressure product was not greater following revascularization in these subjects (pre-revascularization: 2,796 ± 871 vs. post-revascularization: 1,766 ± 378 mmHg·beats/min, P = 0.082). These data suggest that leg revascularization alters reflex control of BP, HR, and coronary blood flow in response to exercise in patients with PAD. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We found that peripheral revascularization procedures lowered exercise blood pressure and improved coronary blood flow in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

Abstract
Low adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) might be improved by remote monitoring systems that can be used to motivate and supervise patients and tailor CR safely and effectively to their needs. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a smartphone-guided training system (GEX) and whether it could improve exercise capacity compared to CR delivered by conventional methods for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A prospective, randomized, international, multi-center study comparing CR delivered by conventional means (CG) or by remote monitoring (IG) using a new training steering/feedback tool (GEx System). This consisted of a sensor monitoring breathing rate and the electrocardiogram that transmitted information on training intensity, arrhythmias and adherence to training prescriptions, wirelessly via the internet, to a medical team that provided feedback and adjusted training prescriptions. Exercise capacity was evaluated prior to and 6 months after intervention. 118 patients (58 ± 10 years, 105 men) with CAD referred for CR were randomized (IG: n = 55, CG: n = 63). However, 15 patients (27 %) in the IG and 18 (29 %) in the CG withdrew participation and technical problems prevented a further 21 patients (38 %) in the IG from participating. No training-related complications occurred. For those who completed the study, peak VO2 improved more (p = 0.005) in the IG (1.76 ± 4.1 ml/min/kg) compared to CG (-0.4 ± 2.7 ml/min/kg). A newly designed system for home-based CR appears feasible, safe and improves exercise capacity compared to national CR. Technical problems reflected the complexity of applying remote monitoring solutions at an international level.

Abstract
Currently, the treatment of thromboembolic ischemia of the lower extremities includes percutaneous rotational thrombectomy and aspiration devices. However, the standard approach for endovascular treatment requires the administration of iodine contrast agents, which is problematic in patients with pre-existing renal disease and diabetes. Herein, we describe a case of a CO2 angiography guided endovascular thrombectomy of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in a young patient with critical limb ischemia. Mechanical thrombectomy using the Rotarex system, catheter aided aspiration and subsequent stent placement in the SFA was entirely guided using CO2 angiography.
