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.
Introduction: Blunt leg trauma is common; however, it is rarely associated with significant vascular injury. This study was undertaken to determine the risk factors attributed to failure of limb salvage in acute postoperative period in blunt leg trauma with vascular injuries after revascularization.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of all patients with blunt leg trauma involving bone and soft tissue associated with vascular injuries.
Aims: Increased level of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is associated with an increased prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). This study aimed to assess the relationship between the anatomical distribution of symptomatic PAD lesions in patients with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c levels at the time of PAD diagnosis.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at King Abdullah University Hospital during the period August 2011 to December 2015.
Background: Femoral pseudoaneurysm is the most important access site complication following cardiac catheterization. Ultrasound-guided compression repair is a safe and effective therapeutic modality with variable failure rates and risk factors. The aim of this study was to investigate which factors were associated with a higher incidence of ultrasound-guided compression repair failure for post-cardiac catheterization femoral pseudoaneurysm.
