This pilot study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of tibioperoneal arteries with DEEP Balloon in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). 15 adults diabetic patients with CLI were recruited in this study. All patients underwent PTA of tibioperoneal arteries with DEEP Balloon and were followed up for 6 months post operation. Te...

INTRODUCTION Lower extremity amputation prevention (LEAP) is an ongoing programme in our institution aimed at limb salvage in patients with critical limb ischaemia (CLI). Patients in the LEAP programme with reconstructible anatomy on initial Doppler imaging received either bypass surgery or percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA). We describe the 1-year limb salvage rates in 46 cons...

BACKGROUND Late-presenting acute limb ischaemia represents a challenging vascular emergency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome in patients following revascularization and management of existing or impending reperfusion injury of ischaemic limbs over a 12-year period (2002-2014). METHODS Routine procedural codes were used to label consecutive patients admitted 72 hours foll...

dec 2009 were studied. patients with vascular injuries caused by causes other than tear gas shells were excluded from the study. results: all patients were treated with reverse saphenous vein graft as segmental loss was less than 2.5 cm. wound infection was the most common complication, followed by graft occlu-sion. amputation rate was 16.66%. associated nerve injury occurred in 44.44% of the p...

The objective of this study was to show feasibility our controlled pullback technique associated with covered endovascular aortic bifurcation (CERAB) for complex aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) procedures. A retrospective conducted on data obtained from the review medical charts all consecutive patients treated a CERAB AIOD between September 2020 and 2021 at CHUS Hospital in Santiago de Com...
