Time and Regional Trends in Hybrid Revascularisation for Patients With Lower Limb Ischaemia

Objective: Open revascularisation surgery for lower limb ischaemia carries significant risks to patients both in terms of morbidity and mortality, this is especially increasing with increasing age and comorbidities in this group of patients. Conversely, endovascular treatments have reduced morbidity and mortality, but it is not always possible to offer an endovascular solution to all the patients. Combining both open and endovascular treatments allows one to extend the treatment options for the patient with reduced morbidity, mortality, and length of stay.
