Revascularization enhances quality of life for patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia
Over 200 million people around the world experience peripheral artery disease (PAD) — a condition caused by the narrowing of the blood vessels from the heart to the lower limbs that leads to pain when walking — and for roughly 1-in-10 this advances to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), an advanced form of PAD.
