Insights

Subintimal angioplasty is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for critical limb ischaemia (CLI) caused by blocked crural arteries. This procedure offers a cost-effective alternative to surgery, especially for elderly and frail patients.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Critical limb ischaemia (CLI) frequently involves occlusive disease of the crural arteries.
  • Minimally invasive treatments for CLI should focus on recanalizing these occluded arteries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of subintimal angioplasty for long occlusions in crural arteries.

Main Methods:

  • Subintimal angioplasty was performed on patients with CLI due to long occlusions of crural arteries.

Main Results:

  • The procedure was found to be safe and effective.
  • It provides an alternative to reconstructive surgery.

Conclusions:

  • Subintimal angioplasty is a viable and cost-effective treatment for CLI in suitable patients.
  • This minimally invasive approach is particularly beneficial for elderly and frail individuals.

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is an essential intervention for patients experiencing severe kidney dysfunction. This therapy offers a continuous mechanism for removing fluids and toxins from the bloodstream, leveraging the patient’s blood pressure to facilitate filtration through a specialized filter. This method contrasts with intermittent dialysis, providing a gentler and more consistent removal of waste products and excess fluid, which is particularly beneficial in critically...

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...
