Additional Risk Stratification Using Local and Systemic Factors for Patients with Critical Limb Ischaemia Undergoing Endovascular Therapy in the WIfI Era.

CONCLUSION: Non-ambulatory status, haemodialysis, and a low albumin level were additional systemic risk factors for impaired wound healing in patients with WIfI stage 4. The wound healing rate in WIfI stage 4 patients with one or fewer of these risk factors was comparable to that in WIfI stage 1-3.
