Article Synopsis
- The classification system aims to help vascular surgeons categorize the severity of aortoiliac occlusive disease by anatomical segments, which aids in decision making and management strategies.
- It uses a simple method to designate letters and numbers to diseased segments, drawing parallels to the familiar TNM classification system, and is demonstrated through clinical case examples.
- This new system addresses the need for accurate identification of affected arterial segments, providing an intuitive framework that complements existing classification systems without replacing them, enhancing management planning for vascular surgery.
