Patency and Limb Salvage Rates in Critical Limb Ischemia

10/30/2016

The discrepancy between patency and limb salvage for patients with the most severe peripheral arterial disease has been the source of much debate. It is possible, however, that the discrepancy is not as wide as previously thought.

The discrepancy between patency...
