Conditions

Health Condition 1: I739- Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified

Interventions

Intervention1: Buerger-Allen exercise: First, the patient lies flat on the plinth with legs elevated from 45 degrees until the skin turns pale, it will take approximately 2 minutes to occur and this t
dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, eversion, and flexion and extension of toes, this phase may also be maintained for 2 minutes. Finally, the patient lies flat with his leg rested in a horizont

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Diagnosed Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) of the lower limbs based on clinical assessment and objective vascular testing (e.g., ABI, Doppler, CTA/MRA/DSA) Scheduled for endovascular intervention (angioplasty ± stenting ± adjunctive procedures) for lower-limb PAD At least one accessible imaging site on the foot, ankle, or distal leg suitable for LSCI imaging (not fully covered by casts, heavy dressings, or external fixation) Able to lie supine and tolerate LSCI imaging immediately pre- and post-intervention Able and willing to provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Acute limb ischemia requiring emergency revascularization or thrombectomy where study imaging could delay life- or limb-saving treatment Hemodynamic instability or critical illness (e.g., on inotropic support, severe sepsis) precluding safe participation Extensive limb dressings, external fixation, or plaster casts that prevent adequate LSCI imaging of the distal limb Major tissue loss or active infection at planned imaging sites that could interfere with perfusion measurements Inability or unwillingness to comply with the imaging protocol or required follow-up assessments Concurrent participation in another interventional trial that, in the opinion of the investigator, could confound perfusion measurements
