Abstract
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the leading cause of major leg amputation. Diabetes, smoking and end stage renal disease are the main risk factors for CLI. Despite their reduced survival rate, most CLI patients should be treated by surgical or endovascular arterial reconstruction, since amputation rate with conservative treatment alone is as high as 95% at 1 year in surviving patients with tissue loss, and can be reduced to 25% with successful reconstruction. When arterial reconstruction is impossible or fails, spinal cord stimulation also allows to avoid major amputation in up to 75% of precisely selected patients. Timely management and multidisciplinary approach are advised to reduce the risk of major amputation.
