Chronic critical limb ischemia.
BACKGROUND 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 their usefulness for preservati...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Chronic Critical Limb Ischemia
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is often referred to as a continuum of disease of occlusive arterial syndromes that can range from asymptomatic obstructive disease through occlusive disease requiring amputation. This entire spectrum of PAD has prevalence as high as 20 % of the general population [ 1 ]. This spectrum becomes more progressive and symptomatic as the disease causes an imbalance of ...

Peripheral artery diseases amount to more than 20% of all types of cardiovascular diseases, which corresponds to 2-3% of the total population. 15 to 30% of the population of Russian Federation over 65 years have signs of obliterating arteriopathy. Advance of arterial insufficiency in some cases leads to development of special state - chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI). This article presents a...
متن کامل[Critical limb ischemia].
Chronic critical limb ischemia is defined as ischemia which generally endangers the distal part of a limb. If the ischemia is unrelenting, there is a high risk that amputation will be required. These critical limbs were amputated as an initial treatment long ago. Now it becomes clear that disabling patients have very poor quality of life after major amputation, and ischemic leg produces noxious...
متن کاملCritical Limb Ischemia
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), defined as chronic ischemic rest pain, ulcers, or gangrene attributable to objectively proven arterial occlusive disease, is the most advanced form of peripheral arterial disease. Traditionally, open surgical bypass was the only effective treatment strategy for limb revascularization in this patient population. However, during the past decade, the introduction and ...
