Surgical treatment in critical limb ischaemia

چکیده
Background Recommendations of clinical guidelines for the treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI) are based on randomized controlled trials [1]. Surgery using different grafts (venous or prosthetic) is in competition with percutaneous angioplasty. Progress of endoluminal techniques has brought certain authors to think that angioplasty is now the first treatment of critical limb ischemia [2].
