Summary

This trial looks at the role of microRNA-210 in peripheral artery disease and potential treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women over 30 with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who have severe limb pain or wounds due to poor blood flow, and are candidates for a revascularization operation. They must not have musculoskeletal or neurological symptoms that could affect the study, be willing to follow the study plan, attend check-ups, complete assessments, and give written consent. People undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, those with a life expectancy under 2 years from non-PAD causes, or recent acute lower limb ischemic events can't participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is studying how microRNA-210 affects oxidative stress in PAD patients. It's looking at whether targeting miR-210 can improve mitochondrial function and quality of life by comparing two groups: one receiving standard care and another undergoing a revascularization operation designed to restore proper blood flow in affected limbs.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects related to targeting miR-210 aren't detailed here, typical risks associated with revascularization operations include infection risk at the surgery site, bleeding complications, potential reactions to anesthesia during surgery, as well as general postoperative discomfort.
