The prehospital clinical and functional state of geriatric patients is prognostically of decisive importance for the choice of treatment for critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), especially in the presence of frailty syndrome. Negative prognostic predictors are immobility, need of nursing care and ...
Although the gold standard treatment of critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is urgent revascularization, some patients have unreconstructable PAD for whom lumbar sympathectomy (LS) could still have a role in alleviating pain. The few randomized trials that compared LS to conservative treatment i...
Objective To review the current state of epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of critical limb ischemia. Evidence Review An extensive literature search of the subject matter was conducted on material published in English between 1980 and 2016; both landmark and recently published artic...
It is now commonplace in most advanced critical limb ischemia centers for multidisciplinary teams or vascular specialists trained in both open surgery and interventional techniques to utilize an individualized, hybrid revascularization strategy for patients with limb-threatening ischemia resulting from mul...

Critical limb ischemia, also known as chronic limb-threatening ischemia, is a condition in which there is insufficient blood flow to an extremity, such as an arm or leg, to allow for normal metabolic function. As the population ages and the incidence of diabetes, obesity and chronic kidney di...
At the present time, infrainguinal bypass using autogenous vein is the most effective and durable treatment for chronic limb ischemia caused by long-segment, diffuse, atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Quality of the vein conduit is the most important factor that determines operative success. Preoperativ...
