Chronic Critical Limb Ischemia [PDF]
Some 40 000 lower limb amputations are performed in Germany each year, 70% of them in diabetics. About 80% of all major amputations may be preventable with the use of new interventional and vascular surgical procedures, particularly on the arteries of the leg and foot. We present the current state of the art in revascularization techniques and evaluate

Limb salvage following below-the-ankle angioplasty in critical limb ischemia
Aim: The aim was to report limb salvage following below-the-ankle (BTA) angioplasty as an adjunct to proximal angioplasty in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI).

Summary: Hypoxia-induced endothelial cell death and impaired angiogenesis are the main pathophysiological features of critical limb ischemia. Mechanistically, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) promoted Smac translocation from ...

Background: Critical limb ischemia represents an advanced stage of peripheral arterial disease. Angioplasty improves blood flow to the limb; however, some patients progress irreversibly to lower limb amputation.

Early Results of Single Infragenicular Tibial Angioplasty In Critical Lower Limb Ischemia [PDF]
Background: The most severe form of peripheral artery occlusive disease is critical limb ischemia. The diagnosis is poor, with death after one year reaching 25% and amputation rates reaching 30%.

Endovascular treatment of critical lower limb ischemia caused by giant cell arteritis
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a well-known cause of cranial vasculitis often presenting with headache and jaw claudication. Here we report the case of a woman suffering GCA who presented with critical lower limb ischemia.
