Ultra-distal revascularization in chronic limb threatening ischaemia: results a...
Cabral, Gonçalo; Soares, Tony; Silva Costa, Tiago; Tiago, José Manuel; Gimenez, José L.; Duarte, Armanda; Cunha e Sá, DiogoINTRODUCTION: The progression of diabetes mellitus to a global epidemic resulted in an increased prevalence of tibioperoneal disease in chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). Distal disease still poses an enormous challenge to vascular surgeons. Crural angioplasty was formerly restricted to patients with short stenotic lesions or to high-risk patients for bypass surgery. Nevertheless, endovascular treatment ...
ULTRA DISTAL REVASCULARIZATION IN CRITICAL LIMB ISCHEMIA: THE FINAL FRONTIER
Cabral, Gonçalo; Costa, Tiago Silva; Tiago, José Manuel; Gimenez, José Luis; Cunha e Sá, DiogoIntroduction: Ultra distal conventional revascularization is still underused by the majority of vascular surgeons. Nevertheless, the few studies published on this subject show very promising results in terms of limb salvage and amputation free survival.Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of ultra distal conventional revascularization in patients with critical limb ischemia (stages 5 and...
