Objective Direct revascularization (DR), according to the angiosome concept, provides direct
blood flow to the site of tissue loss in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). DR may lead …

Background Approximately 20% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia have no
revascularization options, leading to above-ankle amputation. Transcatheter arterialization …

Background Six hours has long been considered the threshold of ischemia after peripheral
artery injury. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the impact of operative …

Temporary intravascular shunts are used to maintain perfusion in injured vessels, although
failure can be unpredictable and lead to significant morbidity. The aim of the present study …

Background Extremity injury with ischaemia is the most common pattern of vascular trauma
and is a challenge for surgeons who must make decisions about the timing and mechanism …

The TASC II working group reports on primary amputation incidence rates vary between 12
and 50 per 100,000 per year. The primary amputation rate does not only depend on co …

BACKGROUND Quick and successful vascular access in injured patients arriving in
extremis is crucial to enable early resuscitation and rapid OR transport for definitive repair …

Objectives The use of an intraoperative shunt is an established technique used to reduce
the ischemic time after acute arterial obstruction or in the prevention of hypoperfusion due to …

Background There are few studies that quantify the impact of time to wound healing on
outcomes after endovascular revascularization of critical limb ischemia (CLI). Methods In this …

Background Amputations of lower limbs can be conducted as one-stage amputation (OSA)
or staged amputation (SA) procedures. The objective of this study was to analyze technical …
