Arterial reconstruction for patients with chronic limb ischemia improves ambulatory function and health related quality of life

Arterial reconstruction (AR) for limb ischemia may improve ambulatory function (AF) and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL). However, the efficacy of AR in terms of HR-QoL varies in studies, probably because of cohort differences in disease severity, hemodynamic outcomes, and observation duration. We assessed HR-QoL for patients with various severities of ischemia in a 3-year observational study
