Critical Limb Ischemia

Combining recent scientific and clinical research in one resource, Critical Limb Ischemia provides guidelines for a multidisciplinary approach and step-by-step descriptions of the latest techniques for this growing public health concern. This text provides interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, interventionalists, radiologists, podiatrists, and endocrinologists with a valuable resource for critical limb ischemia in daily practice.

Key topics include:

• noninvasive and surgical treatment alternatives, including balloon angioplasty, stenting, cryoplasty, pharmacotherapy, and topical therapies combined with hyperbolic oxygen treatment
• endovascular techniques and strategies for leg revascularization
• current CLI management techniques from European and US perspectives
• CLI classification systems and new Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) recommendations
• PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) and BTK (below the knee)
