Improved quality of life after 1 year with an invasive versus a noninvasive treatment strategy in claudicants: one-year results of the Invasive Revascularization or Not in Intermittent Claudication (IRONIC) Trial.
BACKGROUND The quality of evidence for invasive revascularization in intermittent claudication is low or very low. This prospective, randomized, controlled study tested the hypothesis that an invasive treatment strategy versus continued noninvasive treatment improves health-related quality of life after 1 year in unselected patients with intermittent claudication. METHODS AND RESULTS After cl...
متن کاملTwo-year results from a randomized clinical trial of revascularization in patients with intermittent claudication.
BACKGROUND Intermittent claudication is associated with significant impairment of health-related quality of life. The use of revascularization techniques to improve health-related quality of life remains controversial. METHODS Patients with intermittent claudication due to iliac or femoropopliteal peripheral artery disease were enrolled in the IRONIC trial. They were randomized to either best...
متن کاملPatients With Intermittent Claudication and Chronic Widespread Pain Improves in Health-Related Quality of Life After Invasive but Not After Noninvasive Treatment
Background Intermittent claudication (IC) is traditionally managed with risk factor modification, best medical treatment (BMT), and exercise training. Comorbidities such as diabetes and ischemic heart disease affect both results of invasive treatment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) negatively. It is unknown how chronic widespread pain (CWP) influences the results of invasive treatmen...
متن کاملRole of the latest endovascular technology in the treatment of intermittent claudication
Intermittent claudication is a serious symptom in patients with peripheral arterial disease, and severely limits activities of daily living. Conservative treatment (optimal medical therapy and exercise rehabilitation programs) and revascularization procedures (endovascular treatment [EVT] or open bypass surgery) can relieve intermittent claudication. Among these treatment options, EVT has devel...
متن کاملEfficacy of an interspinous decompression device versus nonoperative treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis: an example for a randomized, controlled trial
Background: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) with neurogenic intermittent claudication (NIC) is one of the most common degenerative spinal diseases in the elderly. One treatment option for LSS/neurogenic intermittent claudication is conservative management with oral analgesics, injections and physical therapy. Another relatively new operative alternative is interspinous process decompression. To da...
