Van Den Berg, J; Waser, S; Trelle, S; Diehm, N; Baumgartner, I (2012). Lesion characteristics of patients with chronic critical limb ischemia that determine choice of treatment modality. Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 53(1), pp. 45-52. Torino: Minerva Medica
Full text not available from this repository.This paper will review the literature in order to define lesion characteristics that determine decision for surgical or endovascular therapy in patients with chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI). The typical pattern of disease is multilevel, infrainguinal disease. The great majority of patients with CLI can be treated by endovascular means, and the pathoanatomical pattern of disease dictates the choice of treatment modality. Long iliac artery occlusions, in particular, if associated with common femoral artery pathology and long superficial femoral artery occlusions crossing the knee joint so far remain a domain of surgery. However, there is an ongoing shift from surgery to endovascular treatment.
