Objective: This subgroup analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on infrapopliteal angioplasty outcomes in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Methods: This was an observational study evaluating eligible CLTI patients aged >18 years who underwent infrapopliteal angioplasty between April 2014 and May 2017 at a tertiary care center. Subgroup analyses were based on (1) baseline glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c ≤6.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a serious condition linked to high risks of mortality, limb amputation, and decreased quality of life, necessitating urgent referral to vascular specialists for management.
  • The term CLTI is preferred as it indicates a spectrum of severity rather than fixed thresholds, defined by the presence of peripheral artery disease alongside critical symptoms like rest pain or non-healing ulcers.
  • A new Global Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) and guidelines for evidence-based revascularization (EBR) are proposed, focusing on key factors like patient risk, limb severity, and anatomical complexity to guide optimal treatment strategies.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with mortality, amputation, and impaired quality of life. These Global Vascular Guidelines (GVG) are focused on definition, evaluation, and management of CLTI with the goals of improving evidence-based care and highlighting critical research needs. The term CLTI is preferred over critical limb ischemia, as the latter implies threshold values of impaired perfusion rather than a continuum.

Objective: Blood supply to the foot is from the posterior tibial, anterior tibial, and the peroneal arteries. Ischemic ulceration of the foot is the most common cause for major amputations in vascular surgical patients. It can be presumed that revascularization of the artery directly supplying the ischemic angiosome may be superior to indirect revascularization of the concerned ischemic angiosome.

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a significant problem worldwide. In developing countries such as India, the increased incidence of smoking and other forms of nicotine intake has resulted in a large proportion of young individuals with Buerger's disease. The results of surgical and endovascular treatment for this condition have not been very rewarding.
