About

The purpose of this study was to investigate limb salvage rates in patients with critical limb ischemia after endovascular revascularization.

Full description

A retrospective analytical study assessing limb salvage attempts and outcomes in 157 consecutive patients with CLI and tissue loss. It was for the period of May 2018 and May 2021 at Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex.

The objectives of this study include Primary: To determine the success rate of target lesion revascularisation using endovascular limb salvage techniques in Critical limb ischemia patients with minor and major tissue loss.

Secondary objectives included:

1. to compare and contrast limb salvage rate to international standards
2. to assess the maintenance of amputation-free survival and bipedal ambulation
3. to evaluate the angiosome concept and its effect on wound healing
4. to evaluate primary patency rate
5. to assess the overall morbidity and mortality of endovascular treatment for critical limb ischemia
6. to observe the outcomes of various wound healing techniques and its efficacy
