Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on chronic limb-threatening ischemia in diabetic patients, highlighting the need for effective management strategies and introducing a new revascularization index (RI) to predict treatment outcomes.
- A review of electronic medical records from 187 patients showed a significant major limb amputation rate of 19.3%, with the RI effectively predicting the need for further revascularization and major amputations.
- The RI proved to be a useful tool for assessing risks; an RI of less than 1.21 indicates a higher likelihood of major amputation, while an RI below 1.3 signals increased risk for secondary revascularization.
