Exploring Innovative Limb Salvage Techniques for CLTI – Tibial Cortex Transverse Transport (TTT) and Endovascular intervention

Introduction Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe condition with high risks of amputation and mortality. A groundbreaking study by Ding et al. (2024) has revealed the potential of combining Tibial Cortex Transverse Transport (TTT) with Endovascular Therapy (EVT) to enhance outcomes for patients suffering from CLTI. Key Findings • At 6 months, 85.5% of... Continue Reading →

BASIL-2 points towards endovascular-first revascularisation strategy in CLTI patients @VascularNews

In the BASIL-2 (Bypass versus angioplasty for severe ischaemia of the leg) trial of 345 patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI), a best endovascular treatment-first revascularisation strategy was associated with better amputation-free survival than a vein bypass-first strategy in those who required an infrapopliteal repair—with or without a more proximal infrainguinal procedure. This result was... Continue Reading →

PROMISE kept? Transcatheter Arterialization of Deep Veins in Chronic Limb- Threatening Ischemia @NEJM #ActAgainstAmputation @ALPSlimb

Congratulations to some of our closest flowmigos for their collective work on this important manuscript. With this manuscript and BEST-CLI being published in NEJM in such quick succession, it highlights the importance of rapid reaction and teamwork in working to #ActAgainstAmputation. Background: Approximately 20% of patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia have no revascularization options, leading to... Continue Reading →
