Indications for Pedal Loop Reconstruction and Distal Tibio-Pedal Reconstruction for Limb Salvage

04/05/2018

The pedal loop is the third and arguably most vital part of lower extremity perfusion and wound healing. It is known that outflow is correlated with patency, yet some would argue that we don’t pay enough attention to the distal foot...

We hypothesized that a drug-coated balloon could improve treatment efficacy while maintaining safety when compared with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for the treatment of atherosclerotic infrapopliteal arterial lesions.

We hypothesized that a...
