CRITICAL LIMB ISCHEMIA. A LITERATURE REVIEW (PART 2)

Abstract

Critical lower limb ischemia (CLI) is the final stage of peripheral arterial disease and occurs with chronic pain at rest, loss of tissue and limb. Despite the active development of new technologies, including endovascular and open surgical methods of treatment, and the development of various guidelines, CLI still remains an unresolved burden of vascular surgery around the world. The second part of the review describes large randomized trials, open and endovascular methods of lower limb revascularization in CLI. Also, the use of deep vein arterialization technology in No-option cases for conventional methods of revascularization.
