Mid-term outcomes after endovascular treatment for critical limb-threatening ischemia in patients not available for vein bypass surgery

Key Points

• This research aims to assess the mid-term outcomes of endovascular treatment for patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia who are unsuitable for vein bypass surgery.
• Analyzed a cohort of patients not eligible for vein bypass surgery
• Recorded major amputation and mortality rates
• Conducted follow-up over a median period of 24 months
• 25% of patients underwent major amputation after treatment
• 31% of patients died during the follow-up period
• Calls for larger studies to compare with conservative treatment options
