3/3 although there is hope with a more recent aggressive distal approach from 2018 onwards suggesting better outcomes than previous years. Data linkage with #SCIdiabetes #ePR and routine lab data delivering useful insights with #Rstats and #finalfit

[Marcus Lyall 📈 @marcus_lyall]

2/3 the reality is - outcomes are poor with <50% amputation free survival at 5 years. Key predictors of negative outcome are young age and poor baseline renal function. Diabetes status and deprivation have little effect.

Delighted to share this collaboration with @JimVassIR and colleagues examining real-world outcomes in patients with and without diabetes suffering from #criticallimbischaemia and undergoing infrainguinal angioplasty. 1/3

In order for #endovascular procedures to have a real impact in #CLI, we need to achieve straight line flow to the foot. Excited to share our results in improving meaningful outcomes in these patients. @CLI_Global @CLIfighters @CLIjournal

Meta analysis on 1804 patients demonstrated median survival of 5.1 years, and 3- and 5-year overall survival of 68% and 51% respectively which is comparable to other local control treatments indicating the non-inferiority of ablation vs surgery and SABR. https://t.co/VGJ2C1a2cM
