Limb Ischemia

The prognosis of limb ischemia has greatly improved because of bypass surgery techniques, intra-postoperative management, artificial blood vessel material, endovascular treatment, and drug treatment. Based on the results of previous studies showing that the 5-year survival rate is approximately 40% for CLI and 70% to 80% for IC, the most important objectives for the treatment of PAD are avoiding amputation and preventing progression from IC to CLI. However, in patients with chronic arterial occlusion who have bypass surgery to the popliteal artery or the lower leg, the 5-year patency rate is approximately 40%.
