Abstract

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) represents the end-stage form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and is associated with a very poor prognosis and high risk of limb loss and mortality. It can be considered very similar to a terminal cancer disease, reflecting a large impact on quality of life and healthcare costs. The aim of this study is to offer an overview of the relationship between CLTI, limb salvage, and mortality, with a focus on the need of a fast-track team-based management that is a driver to achieve better survival results. This review can be useful to improve management of this growing impact disease, and to promote the standardisation of care and communication between specialist and non-specialist healthcare professionals.
