To examine the efficacy of pedal artery angioplasty (PAA) for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) according to the severity of inframalleolar disease. In total, 257 consecutive CLTI patients (mean age 73.2 years; 175 men) with de novo infrapopliteal and inframalleolar artery disease were enrolled from the retrospective RENDEZVOUS registry.
