Outcomes of angiosome and non-angiosome targeted revascularization in critical lower limb ischemia

Abstract

To attain better ulcer healing rates combined with higher limb salvage, direct revascularization of the ischemic angiosome should be considered whenever possible. Revascularization should not be denied to patients with indirect perfusion of the ischemic angiosome as acceptable rates of limb salvage are obtained.

Clinical outcome of angiosome-oriented infrapopliteal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for isolated infrapopliteal lesions in patients with critical limb ischemia

“…The wound healing rate of the target group was significantly higher than that in the nontarget group; however, the amputation rate of the group with complete success and success compared with that of the group with partial success and failure did not reach statistical significance, which is similar to other recent studies (16,24).…”

La revascularisation distale des diabétiques en ischémie critique

“…Cependant, il n'y avait pas de différence significative pour le sauvetage de jambe entre les deux groupes (p = 0,06). Cette étude était réalisée dans une population comptant 81,3 % de diabétiques [65].…”
