A prospective study to evaluate complete wound healing and limb salvage rates after angiosome targeted infrapopliteal balloon angioplasty in patients with critical limb ischaemia
European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Jan 21, 2018
Elbadawy A, et al. - In patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI) with concurrent foot ulceration/gangrene who underwent angiosome targeted infrapopliteal balloon angioplasty, complete wound healing and limb salvage rates were evaluated. In this work, when the target foot lesion receives direct perfusion following the angiosome concept, the complete wound healing rate is better. However, no significant differences regarding limb salvage and amputation-free survival rates were evident among the direct revascularisation and indirect revascularisation groups.
