[Endovascular revascularisation in patients with necrotic wounds and extended infrainguinal arterial disease]

To report own experience of endovascular interventions in patients with extended occlusive lesion (TASC II D) of the femoral-popliteal and tibial arteries and concomitant purulent-necrotic wounds.

We have analyzed literature data and own experience of endovascular interventions in patients with extended occlusive lesion (TASC II D) of the femoral-popliteal and tibial arteries and concomitant purulent-necrotic wounds.

Endovascular strategy is preferable in a certain subgroup of patients with extended infrainguinal lesions.

Considering own data, we assumed the need for routine correction of outflow pathways (simultaneous angioplasty of at least 2 tibial arteries). Primary results are encouraging, but further research is required.
