Frailty as defined by CFS might be a predictor of MACLE incidence in patients with PAD who underwent EVT. By considering treatment indications for patients with PAD by focusing on frailty rather than age, we may examine whether EVT policies are appropriate and manage patient and caregiver expectations for potential improvement in functional outcomes. Further studies are expected to investigate whether changes in frailty after EVT change prognosis.
