- Clinical Cardiology
Context:
- Current clinical practice for critical limb ischaemia (CLI) relies on the 1991 Second European Consensus on CLI.
- This consensus provides foundational guidelines for managing CLI patients.
Purpose:
- To outline the department's comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to treating critical limb ischaemia.
- To present this integrated strategy as the optimal therapy for CLI.
Summary:
- The authors detail a collaborative, interdisciplinary method for managing critical limb ischaemia.
- This approach integrates various medical specialties to provide optimal patient care.
Impact:
- Highlights the importance of a coordinated, multidisciplinary strategy in managing severe vascular diseases like CLI.
- Emphasizes the need for adherence to established European guidelines for effective CLI treatment.
Abstract:
The contemporary clinical approach to treatment of patients with critical limb ischaemia is based on the conclusions of the European document adopted in Rudeshaim in 1991 (Second European Consensus on Critical Limb Ischaemia). The authors describe the comprehensive approach of different disciplines at their department as the optimal therapy of this serious vascular disease.
