Validation of the Society for Vascular Surgery’s Objective Performance Goals (OPGs) for Critical Limb Ischemia in Everyday Vascular Surgery Practice

摘要

BackgroundTo develop standardized metrics for expected outcomes in lower extremity revascularization for critical limb ischemia (CLI), the SVS has developed objective performance goals (OPGs), based on aggregate data from randomized trials of lower extremity bypass. It remains unknown, however, if these targets can be achieved in everyday vascular surgery practice.
