Objective: We assessed the feasibility of integrating palliative care consultation into the routine management of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Additionally, we sought to describe patient-reported outcomes from the palliative care and vascular literature in patients with CLTI receiving a palliative care consultation at our institution.
Methods: This was a single-institution, prospective, observational study that aimed to assess feasibility of incorporating palliative care consultation into the management of patients admitted to our tertiary academic medical center with CLTI by looking at utilization of palliative care before and after implementation of a protocol-based palliative care referral system.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of gender with outcomes of peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) for intermittent claudication and critical limb ischemia (CLI).
Methods: We reviewed 3338 patients (1316 [39%] women) undergoing PVI for claudication (1892; 57%) or CLI (1446; 43%) in the Vascular Study Group of New England from January 2010 to June 2012. Kaplan-Meier analysis, stratified by indication, was used to assess relationships between gender and the main outcome measures of major amputation, reintervention, and survival during the first year.

Abstract: We have previously suggested (based on genetic mapping analysis) that the allelic 'fuzzy' and 'hairless' mutations in the rat are likely orthologues of the mouse frizzy mutation (fr).
