Effect of gait speed on clinical outcomes after crural and pedal bypass in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia

CONCLUSIONS: Gait speed in patients with CLTI after crural and pedal bypass was associated with survival, freedom from MACE, and graft patency but not with limb salvage and wound healing. A detailed study of walking ability in these patients may be needed in the future.PMID:38569161 | DOI:10.1177/17085381241245603
