Objective: With the initial utilization of endovascular treatment options in 1970s, the number of procedures performed for lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) both with open surgical (OS) and endovascular (EV) treatment increased, but this did not result in a decrease in the number of amputations. The burden of LEAD still constitutes a huge proportion among the health care costs over the world.
Methods: The patients who admitted to our clinic between October 2014 and December 2019 with LEAD and required revascularization were enrolled.
