Hope for Therapeutic Angiogenesis for Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia: from Bench to Bedside
Peripheral arterial disease is a common but under-recognized problem. As the disease progresses, the patient might suffer from rest pain and/or ischemic ulceration critical limb ischemia (CLI). The primary goals for treating the limb symptoms of CLI are to improve functional capacity, exercise performance and qualify of life. Although numerous therapy options can be used for CLI, unfortunately,...
متن کاملTherapeutic Angiogenesis by Gene Therapy for Critical Limb Ischemia: Choice of Biological Agent
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerosis, hardening and narrowing arteries over time due to buildup of fatty deposit in vascular bed called plaque. Severe blockage of an artery of the lower extremity markedly reduce blood flow, resulting in critical limb ischemia (CLI) manifested by a variety of clinical syndromes including rest pain in the feet or toes, ulcer and gangrene w...

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 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...
