State of the art endovascular revascularization for critical limb ischemia
Antegrade superficial femoral artery access is safe and offers significant advantages or traditional common femoral artery access.
Pedal loop revascularization procedures are the last resort for patients with no other options for saving their limb.
This paper uses data from the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database to compare outcomes in patients undergoing a below the...
Increasing evidence supports an endovascular first approach to patients with critical limb ischemia.
Globally we are seeing an aging population with an increasing prevalence of diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
Patients with foot ulceration, and especially those with diabetes, are at an increased risk of amputation.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) has been a largely under recognized and under studied problem despite its significant impact on...

Arterial and Venous testing in patients with lower extremity ulcers
Cholesterol embolization is an infrequent sequelae after lower extremity revascularization.
Reperfusion syndrome and inury can occur after revascularization in patients with critical limb ischemia but the entity is poorly understood
Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) is a severe blockage of the arteries which markedly reduces blood flow to feet.
Diabetic Foot Ulceration (DFU) is one of the most severe consequences of diabetes.
Ulcers (wounds) involving the feet and toes are most commonly seen in diabetic patients and are commonly called diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
