OBJECTIVES: The concept of patency and limb salvage are physician-oriented endpoints in
critical limb ischaemia (CLI). These endpoints have failed to enhance function after …

OBJECTIVE: Patient-and society-oriented measures of outcome have a critical role in
determining the effectiveness of any treatment in patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI) …

OBJECTIVES: More traditional outcome measures following lower limb bypass procedures
are poor predictors of functional outcome. This paper aimed to review the effect of …

Objective The latest guideline points to life expectancy of< 2 years as the main determinant
in revascularization modality selection (bypass surgery [BSX] or endovascular therapy …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Advancements in open and endovascular techniques have
brought a widespread indication of revascularization in the majority of patients with critical …

Objective During the last decade, primary endoluminal therapy for critical limb ischemia
(CLI), assessed as rest pain and tissue loss of the lower extremity, has significantly …

Objectives: to examine the level of agreement among vascular surgeons and interventional
radiologists regarding their preference for the surgical or endovascular management of …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate initial treatment and risk factors for amputation-free survival in
patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI). DESIGN: Prospective clinical cohort study at a …

BACKGROUND: Revascularization is the optimal treatment for critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Traditional measures of outcome of intervention are as follows: graft patency, limb salvage …

Background Outcomes of revascularization for critical limb ischemia (CLI) have historically
been patency, limb salvage, and survival. Functional status and quality of life have not been …
