Author's summary We investigated the association between body mass index and clinical outcomes of peripheral artery disease (PAD) after endovascular therapy (EVT). A total of 2914 PAD patients undergoing EVT were participated according to body mass index groups. Underweight was significantly associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.540; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.091–2.173) and major adverse limb events (MALE) (adjusted HR, 1.523; 95% CI, 1.066–2.177) compared with normal weight. Plus, overweight was associated with lower risk of MACE and not with MALE. However, obesity showed no significant association with MACE or MALE., Background and Objectives Few studies have investigated the obesity paradox in clinical outcomes of peripheral artery disease (PAD). We investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and clinical outcomes in PAD patients undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods Patients (n=2,914) from the retrospective Korean Vascular Intervention Society Endovascular Therapy in Lower Limb Artery Disease registry were categorized according to BMI: underweight (
