Patients with lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) have greater functional impairment, faster functional decline, increased rates of mobility loss, and poorer quality of life than people without PAD. Supervised exercise therapy (SET) improves walking ability, overall functional status, and health-related quality of life in patients with symptomatic PAD. In 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services released a National Coverage Determination (CAG-00449N) for SET programs for patients with symptomatic PAD. This advisory provides a practical guide for delivering SET programs to patients with PAD according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services criteria. It summarizes the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services process and requirements for referral and coverage of SET and provides guidance on how to implement SET for patients with PAD, including the SET protocol, options for outcome measurement, and transition to home-based exercise. This advisory is based on the guidelines established by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for Medicare beneficiaries in the United States and is intended to assist clinicians and administrators who are implementing SET programs for patients with PAD.

SummaryObjective. In lower limb peripheral artery disease the most commonly used method for the assessment of the main arterial system is represented by the determination of ankle-brachial index (ABI). The post-occlusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH) is a controversial method used for the evaluation of primary collateral circulation. The follow-up of these patients has an underestimated part, their quality of life. The aim of this study is to evaluate this and highlight the importance of the PORH in the sight of optimal treatment.Method. 34 patients diagnosed with lower extremity artery disease, receiving conservative treatment, the ankle-brachial index was defined with a Doppler Bistos BT-200, 8 MHz device, the PORH was evaluated with a Bidop ES-100V, an instrument which sends information for a Smart-V-Link software. To assess the quality of life we used the VascuQol-6 test.Results. The age (mean ± SD) of the patients was 67.24±9.51, 52.92% were active smokers. A significant positive correlation was found between PORH and the results of VascuQol-6 test (p=0.02, r=0.38) and an inverse correlation between ABI <0.5 and VascuQol-6 >12. We noticed a significant difference between the VascuQol-6 result at smokers and non-smokers (p=0.02).Conclusions. The quality of life can be acceptable at patients with significant stenosis on the main artery and decreased ankle-brachial index due to presence of the collateral artery system with a maintained ability of vasodilatation represented by PORH. The efficiency of the treatmet is based on quitting smoking, starting programs which are helping patients to quit smoking would be useful.
