Revascularization of Target Artery Path is a Substantial Way for Salvage of Critical Limb Ischemia

The ‘Angiosomal map’ was a fictitious theory revealed during anatomical studies that was used for surgical planning in reconstruction procedures. Target arterial pathway (TAP) determines how tissue fed with a specific direct arterial flow can significantly affect wound healing and limb rescue. Defin ing the new term has helped provide new information that could be applicable to improve revascularization of ischemic tissue lesions. The concept allows for intentional arterial reconstruction with priorities in specific ischemic regions.
