Systemic arterial calcium burden in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia

5-year mortality of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is 50 –60% and coronary artery disease (CAD) is the main cause of death of CLTI patients, followed by stroke. The aim of this study is to quantify and qualify the calcium load in different arterial territories in patients with CLTI.
