Optimal medical therapy predicts amputation-free survival in chronic critical limb ischemia

Abstract: Despite guidelines advocating the optimization of atherosclerotic risk factors, less than one-third of patients with CLI present with their risk factors optimally managed. Patients who are medically undertreated have an eight-fold risk of major amputation and/or death. The magnitude of the effect suggests that future trials and quality assessments should stratify outcomes by the quality of baseline medical management. Of the risk factors affecting AFS medical therapy optimization is the variable that can be mo… Show more

“…(8,9) The latter is a severe disease and the consequences can be direamputation, disability and death. (10)(11)(12) Repeated hospitalisations and interventions are causing a high economic burden. (13) Optimal control of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, and smoking is essential and current guidelines on management of PAD have addressed this issue.…”

“…The long-term outcome of claudicants has been studied by Dormandy et al, showing a 5-year-mortality of 30 % and even 50 % after 10 years [15]. Patients with chronic critical limb ischaemia are known to represent a high risk population with up to 20 % mortality in the fi rst year after presentation [16,17]. Even the Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II) gives little information about the outcome of ALI [5].…”

“…Ezzel kapcsolatban egy másik tanulmány adatai szerint a kritikus végtagi ischaemia miatt kórházi kezelést igénylő betegek kevesebb mint 30%-a részesül optimálisnak tekinthető preventív gyógyszeres kezelésben. A megfelelő konzervatív kezelés hiánya több mint négyszeres kockázatot jelentett az alsó végtagi major amputáció vonatkozásában [48]. További olyan tényezők, amelyek nem az alsó végtagi revascularisatióval közvetlenül függnek össze és a klinikai tanulmányok alapján az alsó végtagi amputációk megelő-zésében jótékonynak bizonyultak: hemoglobin-A-1c-csökkentés [49], statinterápia [50], optimális gyógysze-res kezelés [48], dohányzás felfüggesztése [51], rendszeres alsó végtagi ellenőrzés [52], dialízisminőség [53], a beteg, illetve az ellátószemélyzet edukációja [54,55], betegút-optimalizálás [56], multidiszciplináris kezelés [57], egészségtudatosság szintjének növelése [55].…”
