Lack of Association Between Limb Hemodynamics and Response to Infrapopliteal Endovascular Therapy in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia

In this issue, we are privileged to have two busy critical limb ischemia (CLI) specialists, Dr. George Adams and Dr. Fadi Saab, discuss the controversial topic of imposing ultrasound for access in all arterial conduits during CLI therapy.

In this issue, we are privileged...

Comparison Between Angiographic and Arterial Duplex Ultrasound Assessment of Tibial Arteries in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease: On Behalf of the Joint Endovascular and Non-Invasive Assessment of LImb Perfusion (JENALI) Group

Michael R. Jaff , MD, DO;

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...

The Peripheral RegIstry of Endovascular Clinical OutcoMEs (The PRIME Registry): Interim Analysis of the First 328 Subjects with Critical Limb Ischemia

Tibial veins are actually much larger than the tibial arteries accessed to treat arterial disease. Therefore, there is no anatomic reason to not utilize tibial veins to advance wires and catheters to reach occlusions in the lower extremity...
