Improving 1-year Outcomes of Infrainguinal Limb Revascularisation: A Population-Based Cohort Study of 104 000 Patients in England.

Conclusions -Our findings show that from 2006 to 2015, the overall survival increased and the risk of major lower limb amputation decreased following revascularisation. These observations suggest that patient outcomes after lower limb revascularisation have improved during a period of centralisation and specialisation of vascular services in the United Kingdom.
