Objective To analyze the application effect of continuity nursing in patients with lower limb arterial occlusive disease after balloon dilation stent implantation. Methods 80 patients with lower limb arterial occlusive disease who underwent balloon dilation stent implantation in our hospital from September 2023 to September 2024 were selected as the study sample. According to randomization principles, they were divided into a reference group and an experimental group, with 40 patients in each group. The reference group received routine discharge guidance, while the experimental group received continuity of care. Compare the self-care ability and prognosis of the two groups. Results Compared with the reference group, the self-care ability score of the experimental group was significantly higher (P<0.05); The experimental group had significantly lower rates of vascular reocclusion and restenosis (P<0.05). Conclusion Continuity of care can significantly improve the self-care ability of patients with lower limb arterial occlusive disease after balloon dilation stent implantation, improve prognosis, and is worthy of clinical promotion.
