Impact of Tibial Runoff on Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment for Femoropopliteal Atherosclerotic Lesions

Abstract

The patients with poor runoff showed significantly lower amputation-free survival and freedom from ischemia. In poor tibial runoff limbs with critical limb ischemia or tissue loss, BTK intervention did not demonstrate additional significant beneficial outcomes; however, there was a minor trend of longer lasting freedom from ischemia after concomitant BTK intervention.
