Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the impact of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on clinical outcomes following infrapopliteal intervention in critical limb ischaemia patients with tissue loss.
Methods and results: This retrospective single-centre study enrolled 92 consecutive patients (117 limbs) undergoing infrapopliteal intervention for the treatment of ischaemic tissue loss. The primary outcomes were the wound healing rate, the clinically driven reintervention rate and the limb salvage rate. The secondary outcome was amputation-free survival. The pedal arch was significantly (p=0.002) more diseased in ESRD patients than in non-ESRD patients. ESRD patients demonstrated a significantly lower wound healing rate (hazard ratio [HR], 0.552; 95- CI: 0.319-0.957; p=0.034) and
Conclusions: ESRD patients yielded a more affected pedal arch and were at approximately twice the risk of wound healing failure, need for reintervention, and death or major amputation compared to non-ESRD patients.
