Endovascular reconstruction of popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries for limb salvage and wound healing in patients with critical limb ischemia – A retrospective analysis

摘要

BackgroundAdvancement in endovascular techniques has led to rapid growth in endovascular revascularization, and it has emerged as a treatment for critical limb ischemia (CLI). Clinical effectiveness of revascularization has been frequently judged by vessel patency and limb salvage, but there is paucity of reports on outcomes of the wound. We present a retrospective analysis of immediate angiographic and 3-month clinical outcome of patients who underwent endovascular reconstruction of popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries for CLI.
