Factors Associated with the Loss of Limb Based Patency After Distal Bypass Using the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System

Introduction: The Global Vascular Guidelines propose a novel Global Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) with the Wound, Ischemia, and foot Infection classification system as a clinical decision making tool for revascularisations in chronic limb threatening ischaemia. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with the loss of limb based patency (LBP) after distal bypass according to GLASS.
