Abstract
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is implicated in cases of between 220,000 to 240,000 amputations in the United States and Europe annually. Over the last five years, great technical strides have been made in both the surgical and nonsurgical endovascular treatments of CLI. This chapter analyzes and highlights those creative limb salvage strategies now used to treat CLI and save limbs.
