Hyperuricemia (≥7.0 mg / dl) is known to be one of the risks of arteriosclerosis. For a long time, it has been said that metabolic syndrome and high-BMI has been implicated to hyperuricemia and also that it's a consequence of those patient background, not a cause of arteriosclerosis. Now, the accumulation of data about hyperurisemia is still not enough. Also the importance of secondary prevention for patients after endovascular treatment (EVT) is still unclear too. To investigate the impact of hyperuricemia on prognosis of all patients and low-BMI patients after EVT. From July 2015 to July 2016, 335 consecutive PAD patients who performed EVT were enrolled in I-PAD registry. And we divided them into 2 groups; with hyperuricemia or not, and analyzed them. In addition to that, among them, we selected 245 low-BMI patients (<25) and divided them into 2 groups; with hyperuricemia or not, and analyzed them. The primary end point was all-cause-death and the secondary endpoint was MACLE (Major Adverse Cardiovascular and limbs Events) at 3-years. At 3 years in the patients group with hyperuricemia, overall survival and freedom from MACLE were significantly lower (57.7% vs 83.4% P=0.0012; 30.3% vs 68.6% P=0.0095) than the group without hyperuricemia. Even among the low-BMI patients, in the patients with hyperuricemia, overall survival and freedom from MACLE were significantly lower (55.2% vs 77.1% P=0.003; 48.2% vs 69.9% P=0.002) than the patients without hyperuricemia at 3 years. In this study, the prognosis of patients after EVT with hyperuricemia was worse than the patient without. And even among the low-BMI patients, The prognosis after EVT with hyperuricemia was worse than the patient without. Type of funding source: None
