2011 ACCF/AHA Focused Update of the Guideline for the Management of Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease (Updating the 2005 Guideline) - Recommendations for Critical Limb Ischemia: Endovascular and Open Surgical Treatment for Limb Salvage (DO NOT EDIT)
| Class I |
| "1. For individuals with combined inflow and outflow disease with critical limb ischemia, inflow lesions should be addressed first. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| "2. For individuals with combined inflow and outflow disease in whom symptoms of critical limb ischemia or infection persist after inflow revascularization, an outflow revascularization procedure should be performed. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "3.If it is unclear whether hemodynamically significant inflow disease exists, intra-arterial pressure measurements across suprainguinal lesions should be measured before and after the administration of a vasodilator. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| Class IIa |
| "1.For patients with limb-threatening lower extremity ischemia and an estimated life expectancy of 2 years or less or in patients in whom an autogenous vein conduit is not available, balloon angioplasty is reasonable to perform when possible as the initial procedure to improve distal blood flow. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
| "2. For patients with limb-threatening ischemia and an estimated life expectancy of more than 2 years, bypass surgery, when possible and when an autogenous vein conduit is available, is reasonable to perform as the initial treatment to improve distal blood flow. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
Indications
- Gangrene
- Non-healing ulcers
- Ischemic rest pain
- Claudication causing lifestyle deterioration, refractory to pharmacologic intervention and behavioral modification
