Calcium makes everything harder :) – Predicting Microsurgical Morbidity with PAD Grading in Limb Preservation #GLASS #MAC #ActAgainstAmputation

Screenshot Screenshot Screenshot Microsurgical limb salvage is one of the most complex, high-stakes interventions in modern reconstructive surgery. For patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD), the decision to proceed with free tissue transfer (FTT) is fraught with uncertaintyโ€”especially when calcified, fragile vessels may compromise flap viability from the outset. A new study by Felder and colleagues,... Continue Reading →

Medial Arterial Calcification Score is Associated with Increased Risk of Major Limb Amputation #DiabeticFoot #ActAgainstAmputation #Diabetes #PAD #CLTI

Congratulations to our combined UNC and USC team led by Kate McGinigle and Alex DiBartolomeo. This provides further data supporting the use of medial arterial calcification (MAC) score as a useful surrogate for risk.
