Outcome results
Change in Rutherford Category at 6 Months and 12 Months Post-Procedure
Rutherford Classification (RC) is a commonly used clinical grading system for describing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) on a scale of 0 to 6. RC 6 is the most severe form of PAD. There are seven Rutherford categories used to grade the severity of peripheral artery disease; 0: asymptomatic, 1: mild claudication, 2: moderate claudication, 3: severe claudication, 4: ischemic rest pain, 5: minor tissue loss, 6: major tissue loss. The change in Rutherford category is presented as the distribution at baseline compared to that at 6- and 12-months post-procedure.
Time frame: Baseline, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure
Population: The number of participants analyzed at 6 and 12 months differs from the overall number due to missing data.
