An endovascular- vs. a surgery-first revascularization strategy for chronic limb-threatening ischemia: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Timely revascularization is essential for limb salvage and to reduce mortality in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). In patients who are candidates for endovascular therapy and surgical bypass, the optimal revascularization strategy remains uncertain. Recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have presented conflicting results.
