Endovascular Therapy of TASC-D Lesion in Critical Limb Ischemia
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a terminal stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD); it is defined by the presence of resting pain and/or tissue loss for at least two weeks that may require urgent revascularization to promote healing and prevent limb loss. For patients with infrarenal aortoiliac occlusive disease, the revascularization options are surgery like aortofemoral bypass and axillofemo...
متن کاملLATE EMBOLECTOMY FOR LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE IN ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA: A NEW PROTOCOL
Embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion. Delayed embolectomy has not been investigated adequately due to the belief that accompanying mortality and morbidity render the case futile. Following our previous experience with late arterial repair for leg or knee salvage I we applied the same principle to limbs threatened with prolo...
متن کاملEndovascular therapy for acute limb ischemia.
BACKGROUND Acute limb ischemia (ALI) of the lower extremities remains a challenging clinical dilemma. Treatment of ALI has shifted toward endovascular therapies. The purpose of this study was to assess outcomes in patients treated for ALI with intra-arterial thrombolysis and/or adjuvant endovascular techniques. METHODS Consecutive patients with ALI of the lower extremities treated via endovas...
متن کاملImproving the level of amputation of the lower extremity after therapeutic endovascular intervention for patients with critical limb ischemia
Methods: We conducted a comparative study of two groups of patients suffering from arterial insufficiency of the lower extremities, and the decision taken to amputate above the knee for both of them. A group of patients selected for a therapeutic peripheral intervention, and the effect of this intervention in improving the level of amputation studied and calculated statistically. The study cond...
متن کاملEnhancing limb salvage by non-mobilized peripheral blood angiogenic cell precursors therapy in patients with critical limb ischemia.
BACKGROUND Stem cell therapy has been proposed to enhance the salvage of critically ischemic limbs. OBJECTIVE Assess the efficacy and safety of the implantation of non-mobilized peripheral blood angiogenic cell precursors (NMPB-ACPs) in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who were poor candidates for standard revascularization treatment options. MATERIAL AND METHOD Six patients with ...
