Amputation-Free Survival after Crural Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty for Critical Limb Ischemia

Abstract

Below the knee percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with end-stage peripheral arterial disease and critical limb ischemia is a safe procedure in relieving critical ischemia, reducing the short-term rate of a major amputation as opposed to best medical treatment alone.
