Detailed Description

Atherosclerotic lower extremity PAD affects more than 202 million people in the worldwide. PAD is associated with a major decline in walking functional status and claudication is the most frequent sym...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • 1\. Patients with atherosclerotic peripheral artery disease with symptoms of moderate to severe intermittent claudication (defined as ability to walk at least 2, but not more than 11 minutes on a graded treadmill test using the Gardner protocol)
  • 2\. Aged ≥40 years
  • 3\. Resting ABI \< 0.9 or ABI decreases \> 0.15 after treadmill test regardless of the ABI at rest
  • 4\. Presence of atherosclerotic plaque in femoropopliteal arteries including the common femoral artery, superficial femoral artery and popliteal artery as determined by: Duplex ultrasound imaging OR lower extremity computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) OR lower extremity magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) OR lower extremity catheter-based contrast arteriography. Each of these noninvasive and invasive anatomic assessments will identify patients with at least a 50% stenosis in the affected segment
  • 5\. Stable use of low to moderate dose statin and the permitted statin drugs/ doses: atorvastatin 20 mg, simvastatin 40 mg, rosuvastatin 10 mg, pravastatin, 40 mg, fluvastatin 80 mg or lovastatin 40 mg for at least 6 weeks prior to screening
  • 6\. Written informed consent

Exclusion

  • 1\. Critical limb ischemia or other comorbid conditions that limit walking ability (claudication must be the consistent primary exercise limitation)
  • 2\. Inability to complete treadmill testing per protocol requirements
  • 3\. Two treadmill tests are completed at baseline to confirm reproducibility of results; those who deviates \>25% are excluded
  • 4\. Severe aorto-iliac arteries stenosis or occlusion documented by noninvasive and invasive anatomic assessments
  • 5\. Active systemic inflammatory disease or have an infectious disease within 1 month prior to enrollment
  • 6\. Allergic to DVDMS
  • 7\. Diagnosis of porphyria
  • 8\. Pregnant women and nursing mothers
  • 9\. Contraindications of PET/CT
  • 10\. Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial
  • 11\. Presence of any clinical condition that in the opinion of the principal investigator makes the patient not suitable to participate in the trial
