🚨 New JVS meta-analysis (Boya et al, 2026) on Transcatheter Arterialization of Deep Veins (TADV) for no-option CLTI patients facing up to 67% 1-yr major amputation rates with no surgical or endovascular options.

4 TADV studies (n=197) vs CLariTI SoC (n=180). 🧵 1/9

🎯 BOTTOM LINE: TADV is no longer experimental for no-option CLTI.

The next questions aren't "TADV vs no TADV" (an RCT may be unethical) they're:
→ how do we keep the DVA circuit open?
→ refine reintervention strategy
→ optimize patient selection
