Comparison of Mortality and Amputation after Lower Extremity Bypass vs. Peripheral Vascular Intervention in Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia and Comorbid Chronic Kidney Disease

Comorbid chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with worse outcomes for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). However, comparative effectiveness data is limited for lower extremity bypass (LEB) vs. peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) in patients with CLTI and CKD. We aimed to evaluate 1) 30-day all-cause mortality and amputation and 2) 5-year all-cause mortality and amputation for LEB vs. PVI in patients with comorbid CKD.
