Multidisciplinary approach achieves limb salvage without revascularization in patients with mild to moderate ischemia and tissue loss

The Society for Vascular Surgery Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) classification system has been validated to predict wound healing and limb salvage of patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Our goal was to evaluate the association between WIfI stage and wound healing, limb salvage, and survival in a select cohort of patients with PAD and tissue loss undergoing an attempt of wound healing without immediate revascularization (conservative approach) in a multidisciplinary wound program.
