Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a personalised blood clot prevention plan is more effective than standard treatment in adults with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who have undergone a procedure to restore blood flow to their legs. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the personalized plan lower the rate of blood clots in the treated leg one year after the procedure? * Does the personalized plan lower rates of amputation, repeat procedures, bleeding, and death compared to standard treatment? Researchers will compare the personalized TARGET plan which uses a blood test to tailor each person's blood clot prevention medication to the standard treatment to see if the personalized approach works better. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to either the personalized TARGET plan or standard treatment after their procedure * Have blood tests at 1 week and at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after their procedure * Have medications adjusted based on blood test results if assigned to the TARGET group

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to evaluate the physical and physiological demands, the feasibility and the health, physical fitness and disease-specific outcomes of a progressive recreational team handball-based programme in patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication. The primary outcomes will be changes in functional capacity, assessed by the 6-minute walk test. Participants will be randomized to either a 24-week progressive team handball-based intervention or a usual care control group, with assessments performed at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks post intervention to evaluate health, physical fitness, and disease- specific outcomes.

The goal of this observational study is to learn whether activation of the GLP-1 receptor could represent a therapeutic target by characterizing its expression and associated inflammatory mechanisms in patients with peripheral artery disease, according to disease severity, in adults with symptomatic lower-limb peripheral arterial disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the level of GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) different between patients with intermittent claudication (ischemia of effort) and those with chronic limb-threatening ischemia? * Is GLP1R expression associated with inflammatory and oxidative profiles of PBMC? * Can GLP-1 receptor agonists reverse inflammatory and oxidative alterations induced by plasma from patients with peripheral artery disease in endothelial cell cultures? * Are there specific plasma proteomic signatures associated with GLP1R overexpression? Researchers will compare patients with intermittent claudication to patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia to see if disease severity is associated with differences in GLP1R expression, PBMC inflammatory/oxidative phenotype, and plasma proteomic profiles. Participants will: * Provide an additional blood sample (15 mL) collected during a routine, clinically indicated blood draw * Have PBMC isolated for measurement of GLP1R expression and assessment of inflammatory and oxidative markers * Have plasma analyzed for proteomic profiling and used in in-vitro endothelial cell experiments Participation ends after completion of the blood sampling, and no additional procedures beyond standard clinical care are required.
