Micro-lightguide spectrophotometry (O2C (R)) as a predictor of intermediate outcome in patients with critical limb ischemia after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)

摘要

Aim. Micro-lightguide spectrophotometry (O2C (R)) provides easily and rapidly measurable parameters of tissue microcirculation. The aim of this study was to assess whether micro-lightguide spectrophotometer (O2C (R)) based parameters of the tissue microcirculation can serve as predictors of ulcer healing. Furtherrnore, we tried to identify cut off values to forecast patient outcome and check other diagnostic meanings of individual O2C-parameters.
