Endovascular therapy for critical limb ischemia
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2015Critical limb ischemia (CLI) represents an advanced disease state of peripheral arterial disease. It manifests as lower extremity ischemic rest pain or ischemic skin lesions leading to ulceration or gangrene. Patients with CLI often have multiple medical comorbidities and a 1-year mortality rate of 25% and a 1-year amputation rate of 25%. Historically,

Management of chronic critical limb ischemia
Cardiology Clinics, 2002The patient with CLI is challenging and requires a multi-disciplinary approach to effective management that involves a team of individuals proficient in various aspects of vascular disease. Fig. 4 details the approach at the University of Michigan's comprehensive vascular medicine program.

Matrix Metalloproteinases in Critical Limb Ischemia
Journal of Surgical Research, 2008Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is most commonly the result of arterial occlusive disease, specifically atherosclerotic plaque formation and rupture within the infrainguinal arteries. The physiological response to CLI is partial limb reperfusion via the distinct processes of angiogenesis and arteriogenesis.

Treatment of critical limb ischemia in the elderly
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 1996Acute critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a rather frequent clinical event in elderly patients. Atherosclerotic plaques or cardiopathies (atrial enlargement and fibrillation, ventricular thrombosis) are the most frequent clinical situations related to peripheral embolization.

Critical limb ischemia can be divided into acute and chronic forms. All patients suspected of the acute form should be evaluated immediately, as urgent revascularization is usually necessary. Chronic critical limb ischemia is the most complicated type of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Typical for it are pain at rest and necrosis or gangrene. The most

Therapeutic angiogenesis for critical limb ischemia
Seminars in Vascular Surgery, 2014The application of gene- and cell-based therapies to promote angiogenesis is a novel concept to treat lower-limb critical limb ischemia (CLI) and may provide an unmet need for patients with no options for revascularization. Proof of concept was demonstrated in animal models resulting in clinical trials that have confirmed the feasibility and short-term

Vascular access in critical limb ischemia
Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, 2016Currently, percutaneous endovascular intervention is considered a first line of therapy for treating patients with critical limb ischemia. As the result of remarkable development of techniques and technologies, percutaneous endovascular intervention has led to rates of limb salvage comparable to those achieved with bypass surgery, with fewer ...
