Abstract
s / International Journal of Surgery 11 (2013) 686e745 739 ABSTRACTS Results:103patientswere surveyedand65have responded.14patients(22%) were treated conservatively, 23(35%) had radiological intervention, 4(6%) had combined radiological and surgical treatment, 9(14%) underwent bypass surgery and 15(23%) had amajor amputation. Only 13 patients(20%) reported improvement in their daily activity following the treatment and in 33(50.8%) their activity remained unchanged. Overall, 55 patients(85%) were satisfied with treatment they had received. When comparing non-amputees to amputees, there was no statistically significant difference between the satisfaction scores in the two groups(84% vs 87%; p 0.6714). Conclusions: Majority of the patients were satisfied with the treatment. Therefore pain relief, not an improvement in functional status, seems to be a major feature contributing to patient satisfaction following the CLI treatment and amputees are not less satisfied than non-amputees. 0782: TEN YEAR EXPERIENCE OF MANAGING RAAA IN A DGH Adnan Qureshi, Carolyn Thomas, Sarah Shahzad, Salem Al-Hamali, Mohamed Elshaer.
