Clinical Infrapopliteal Disease Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) typically presents as rest pain, tissue ulceration or frank tissue loss with gangrene, often accompanied by infection. Occasionally a patient may also present with claudication that is so severe that the patient is restricted to a few feet of ambulation. These patients sometimes have early rest pain on further questioning. Diabetics… View more

Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is defined as ischaemic rest pain requiring opiate analgesics, and ulceration or gangrene of the foot or toes attributable to arterial occlusive disease.1 In contrast to patients with claudication, those with CLI have resting arterial perfusion that is inadequate to sustain the metabolic demands of the distal bed. CLI has been formally graded within the current… View more

The treatment of critical limb ischaemia (CLI), a condition that may eventually lead to limb loss in a substantial number of patients, consumes a significant amount of healthcare resources. Distal bypass for limb salvage with autogenous conduit has been considered the procedure of choice for good-risk patients who also have suitable veins and distal target arteries for bypass. However, often one… View more

The incidence and prevalence of critical limb ischaemia (CLI) is progressively increasing, mainly because of the widespread incidence of diabetes mellitus and longer life expectancy in developed countries.1 Beyond lifestyle changes and medical therapy, arterial revascularisation is a mainstay in the management of patients with CLI due to below-the-knee (BTK) disease in order to improve functional… View more

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) increases in prevalence and incidence with advancing age, and the shifting demographics of an ageing general population is expected to increase the burden of PAD. Thus, there has been an increased focus on how best to manage this burden. If intervention is deemed necessary, surgery remains the gold standard for certain forms of lower-extremity occlusive disease… View more
