Critical limb ischemia

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2007
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most severe manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Without timely recognition, appropriate diagnosis, and revascularization, patients with CLI are at risk for amputation or potentially fatal complications.

Statin therapy for reduction of cardiovascular and limb-related events in critical limb ischemia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Vascular Medicine, 2020
High-intensity statins are recommended for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most advanced presentation of PAD. The benefit of statins in the CLI population is unclear based on the existent studies.

Critical Limb Ischemia

Cardiology Clinics, 2015
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), the most advanced form of peripheral artery disease (PAD), carries grave implications with regard to morbidity and mortality. Within 1 year of CLI diagnosis, 40% to 50% of diabetics will experience an amputation, and 20% to 25% will die. Management is optimally directed at increasing blood flow to the affected extremity to

Critical Limb Ischemia [PDF]

open access: possible, 2009
At the beginning of the third millennium the studies on the epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) led to the conclusion that we are facing a very serious public health threat, that of a pandemic of cardiovascular disease. In this context, peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and its components [i.e., intermittent claudication (IC), critical limb ...

Critical Limb Ischemia

2017
Patients with CLI have a poor prognosis, the estimated 3-year probability of mortality being 35.1%. As a result, preference to less burdensome endovascular treatment should be given, provided the same levels of symptomatic improvement can be achieved as with open surgery.

Critical Limb Ischemia

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2013
Critical limb ischemia refers to the clinical state of advanced arterial occlusive disease, placing an extremity at risk for gangrene and limb loss. Critical limb ischemia has 2 broad clinical subcategories that are vital to differentiate: acute limb ischemia and chronic arterial occlusive disease.

Critical and Acute Limb Ischemia

Angiology, 2012
Some patients with peripheral arterial disease may present with critical limb ischemia, a condition associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and effective medical therapy and revascularization are indicated to avoid amputation and reduce mortality.
