Predictors of major adverse lower limb events in patients with tissue loss secondary to critical limb-threatening ischemia.

Background: Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is the end-stage of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) posing a high risk for limb loss and mortality. This study aims to evaluate and list possible predictors of major adverse limb events (MALEs) in CLTI patients with tissue loss.

Methods: This retrospective study included all Rutherford-Becker stage 5 or 6 patients who required foot debridement and revascularization in our department from January 2016 to December 2018.

Surgical Explantation of a Fenestrated Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair Device Complicated by Aorto-Enteric Fistula.

Introduction: Alarming outcomes have been reported following infected endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) device explantation. Infected fenestrated EVAR (FEVAR) exposes patients to even worse procedural risks.

Report: A 67 year old man with a prior history of FEVAR presented with impaired general condition, abdominal and back pain, and increased C reactive protein.
