- Depression is a chronic illness that negatively impacts mood, physical health, and recovery after procedures like endovascular treatment (EVT) for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition that is increasing due to an aging population.
- A study analyzed data from the Tokyo Peripheral Vascular Intervention Study, using the PHQ-9 questionnaire to assess depressive symptoms in 87 patients before and after EVT; 76 patients completed both assessments.
- While there was no significant overall change in depression scores pre- and post-EVT, there was a tendency for improvement, particularly for those without diabetes, which was found to hinder symptom improvement.
