Infrapopliteal angioplasty for limb salvage

European Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1993
Fourteen infrapopliteal angioplasties were performed in 13 patients with critical limb ischaemia. Clinical indications were rest pain, ulceration, gangrene or a critically ischaemic limb from a graft occlusion secondary to an infrapopliteal lesion. The average ankle-brachial ratio was 0.22 in non-diabetics. Technical success was achieved in all lesions
