UK: Study Looks at Illness Trajectories After Revascularization in Patients With PAD
For patients undergoing lower limb revascularization for peripheral artery disease (PAD), the amputation rate is higher for nonelective patients, as is the mortality rate at five years after revascularization, according to a study published in the July 23 issue of Circulation.
Qiuju Li, Ph.D., from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and colleagues analyzed 94,690 patients (≥50 years) undergoing limb revascularization for PAD from 2013 to 2020 to examine the illness trajectories.
