4 Recent case reports in popular press highlight dramatic psychological effects and erratic behaviors associated with its use, but to our knowledge, this is the first case report of severe limb ischemia resulting secondary to high-dose “bath salt” use and the subsequent extreme peripheral ...
chronic limb-threatening ischemiaObjectiveChronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Classification methods differentiate into patients with rest pain or with ischemic ulcers. No distinction is made between the presence or absence of rest pain in patients ...
CLTI (Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia) also known as CLI (Critical Limb Ischemia) is a more severe form of PAD 1 with significant mortality, morbidity and higher use of health care resources.1 The distal blood flow and microcirculatory function are severely compromised resulting in rest pain, ...
Within each class, patients treated with amputation and with bypass were comparable with respect to age, sex, severity of ischemia, and anesthetic technique. Patients who underwent revascularization had a lower perioperative mortality rate (p less than 0.05), a shorter length of hospital stay (p ...
The treatment of critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is revascularization. Lumbar sympathectomy (LS) could be attempted when this is not amenable. Using laparoscopic techniques to perform LS adds the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. Twenty

Acute limb ischemia results from sudden deterioration in the arterial supply to the limb, occasionally leading to limb loss or fatality. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is known to induce acute limb ischemia among the various etiologies responsible for arterial obstruction. APS is a systemic autoimmune...
Introduction: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a syndrome that represents the end-stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD) that increased the risk of major amputation and cardiovascular events. The initial treatment for CLTI may significantly impact the risk of major amputation or death....
Freeman: Precision Medicine for Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia (Under the direction of Michael R. Kosorok) Chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI), a chronic vascular disease, is the most severe form of peripheral artery disease (Norgren et al., 2007; Conte et al., 2019; Hirsch et al....
Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) is a challenging clinical problem associated with high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular interventions have been the cornerstone of treatment whenever possible. It is estimated that CLTI represents <
