Study objectivesThe main objectives of the study are as follows:
1. To compare outcomes for the following treatment strategies for patients with mild to moderate claudication:
1.1. Angioplasty (i.e. status quo treatment)
1.2. Supervised exercise programme
1.3. Exercise and lifestyle advice only (control)
2. To measure the cost of each strategy, including treatment and subsequent health care costs, over 3 years
3. To compare costs and short-term to medium-term (6 months - 3 year) outcomes in different patient groups

Please note that, as of 21/08/2009, the start date of this trial has been updated from 1/09/2001 to 01/12/2001.
