Predictive Ability of the Pedal Medial Arterial Calcification Score for Major Adverse Limb Events Among Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia.

Background: Pedal medial arterial calcification (pMAC) is a potential predictor of major adverse limb events (MALEs) among patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). This study aims to validate the prognostic value of the pMAC score in predicting major lower-limb amputation (MLLA) and need for redo revascularisation.

Methods: A single-center study involving 196 patients diagnosed with CLTI, reviewed between 2012 and 2022.
