Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: the effectiveness of treatment with pentoxifylline;Secondary Objective: whether and how the outcome of treatment with pentoxifylline in the long term is not influenced by hemodynamic variables;Primary end point(s): - Test of the six-minute walk - Percutaneous oximetry (electrodes positioned lower third leg, the middle third of leg and dorsum of the foot limb revascularized) - Angio-MRI lower extremity - Dynamometry segmental level of the quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscle of the limb revascularized;;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: one month | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Evaluation of multidimensional (VMD) (which includes the MMSE, GDS, ADL, IADL) - EPIC questionnaire (questionnaire which aims to investigate the relationships between diet, environmental factors and lifestyle, and incidence of cancer and other chronic diseases). - PASE Questionnaire (questionnaire aims to assess the level of habitual physical activity of the patient) - Percutaneous segmental Oximetry: electrode placed at the lower third of thigh, the middle third of leg and dorsum of the foot to revascularize the limb; - Arterial blood gas analysis; - Segmental Dynamometry: estimating the strength of three different measurements at the level of the quadriceps muscle and gastrocnemius muscle from revascularize the limb;;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: one month | — |
