Revascularization of multiple tibial arteries is not associated with improved limb salvage
Journal of Vascular Surgery Feb 07, 2021
Hater H, Halak M, Sunoqrot H, et al. - Researchers conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study investigating the advantage of performing multiple tibial artery revascularization vs a single vessel revascularization on patients suffering from chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). They included a total of 527 limbs in 470 patients with CLTI (non-healing ulcers- 62%, gangrene- 33% and ischemic rest pain- 5%). Of these, 245 (46%) limbs underwent one vessel revascularization and 282 (54%) underwent multiple vessel revascularization. Findings suggest no correlation of multiple BTK vessel revascularization with improved limb salvage compared with single vessel revascularization.
