    Revascularization surgery trends show shifts in amputation levels over time. While below-knee procedures increased at the VA hospital, amputation rates decreased in private hospitals.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Amputation Prevention
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Revascularization surgery aims to restore blood flow, potentially preventing amputations.
    • Understanding trends in amputation surgery is crucial for evaluating vascular care effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the impact of revascularization surgery on amputation levels in two distinct hospital settings.
    • To compare amputation trends between 1969-70 and 1979-80.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of patient data from a VA and a private hospital.
    • Comparison of amputation levels (below-knee vs. above-knee) and patient demographics across two time periods.

    Main Results:

    • A trend towards below-knee amputations was observed at the VA hospital over time.

  • No significant change in below-knee to above-knee amputation ratio was found for patients with prior vascular reconstruction.
  • The average age of amputees increased, and the proportion of amputations to vascular reconstructions decreased at the private hospital in the later period.

    • Conclusions:

    • Revascularization surgery may influence amputation levels, with differing trends observed between hospital types.
    • The findings suggest evolving patient populations and treatment strategies in vascular surgery over a decade.
