17 Key Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria

i Inclusion Criteria

Men and women 40 years or older; at least 3-month history of stable IC (Rutherford class 2 or 3) secondary to lower extremity PAD; PAD defined as resting ABI <0.90 in at least 1 limb and a ≥10mmHg decrease in ankle artery blood pressure after exercise. In patients with non-compressible vessels (ABI >1.50), the toe–brachial index (TBI) at rest has to be <0.70; Reproducible walking distances with <25% variance between 2 baseline treadmill tests and who terminated all screening treadmill tests solely because of IC pain

ii Exclusion Criteria

Critical limb ischemia defined by ischemic rest pain, ulceration, or gangrene (Rutherford class ≥4); Major lower limb amputation (above or below knee amputation); Surgical or endovascular revascularization for PAD within 3 months; Exercise limitation due to significant concomitant disease (e.g. severe hip or knee arthritis, coronary artery disease, heart failure, chronic obstructive airway disease); Concomitant anticoagulation therapy (e.g. warfarin); Pregnancy or breastfeeding; Unable to complete the screening and follow-up treadmill protocols
