Fig 3 Improvement in ambulation following endovascular intervention in the Superficial Femoral Artery Treatment with Drug-Eluting Stents (STRIDES) trial. Patients' ability to ambulate was measured at prespecified time intervals by the Walking Improvement Questionnaire (WIQ). The figure shows, at each interval of study, the percentage of patients that were able to ambulate the stated distances.
