    Insights

    The JAPAN Critical Limb Ischemia Database (JCLIMB) tracks critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients, revealing that arteriosclerosis obliterans is the primary cause. This national registry aims to improve CLI patient care quality.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Clinical Databases
    • Patient Outcome Tracking

    Background:

    • The Japanese Society for Vascular Surgery initiated a national registry for critical limb ischemia (CLI) patients in 2013.
    • The registry, JAPAN Critical Limb Ischemia Database (JCLIMB), is built upon the National Clinical Database (NCD).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the current medical practice for CLI patients.
    • To improve the quality of medical care for individuals with critical limb ischemia.

    Main Methods:

    • Data collection on patient background, treatments (conservative, surgical, endovascular), early results, and up to 5-year prognosis.
    • Registration of 1070 CLI limbs from 83 facilities in 2019.
    • Analysis of background data and early prognosis of registered CLI limbs.

    Main Results:

    • Arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) was the cause of CLI in 98% of registered limbs.
    • In 2019, 1070 CLI limbs were registered, with 68% affecting males.
    • Early prognosis data for these limbs are reported in this manuscript.

    Conclusions:

    • The JCLIMB database provides valuable insights into CLI patient demographics and treatment outcomes.
    • Findings from JCLIMB can guide improvements in clinical practice for critical limb ischemia management.

    Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation

    Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

    Acute Coronary Syndrome III: Diagnostic Studies

    Diagnosing acute coronary syndrome or ACS begins with a thorough patient history. Notable symptoms include central, crushing chest pain radiating to the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, along with shortness of breath, sweating (diaphoresis), nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and palpitations.It is crucial to note any history of cardiac illnesses and assess risk factors, including age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and a sedentary lifestyle.During physical examination, vital...

    Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

    Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

    Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

    Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply dwindles, causing an ominous lack of oxygen and nutrients. This deficiency, stemming from reduced or obstructed blood flow, spells danger, leading to heart muscle damage and dysfunction.
    Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and...

    Peripheral Artery Disease I: Introduction

    Peripheral artery disease (PAD) predominantly results from atherosclerosis, which involves the accumulation of fatty deposits, or plaques, within the walls of arteries. This causes them to narrow and harden, significantly reducing blood flow. PAD predominantly affects the legs, particularly the arteries supplying the thighs and calves. In rare cases, it may involve other arteries, including those in the arms.Etiology of PAD:The principal cause of PAD is atherosclerosis, which results from fatty...

    Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

    Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
