Predictors of amputation-free survival after endovascular intervention for chronic limb-threatening ischemia in the modern era

Chronic limb-threatening (CLTI) is associated with 25% limb loss and 25% mortality at 1-year. Its lethality increases to 45% in patients subjected to a major amputation. Percutaneous peripheral intervention (PPI) constitutes an attractive and less morbid treatment option for patients with CLTI. The purpose of this study was to assess amputation-free survival in a contemporary cohort treated with endovascular recanalization and assess its predictors.
