Abstract
The global vascular guideline proposed a novel anatomical classification of infra-malleolar (IM) arterial lesions. We aimed to investigate the association of IM classification with clinical outcomes in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) due to isolated infrapopliteal (IP) lesions. We retrospectively analyzed 509 limbs with tissue loss in 357 patients due to isolated IP lesions who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) between April 2010 and December 2018. The primary outcome was 1-year wound healing rate. The association of patient and anatomic characteristics with non-healing was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. The 1-year cumulative wound healing rate was 59.7%. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that IM grade 2 (hazard ratio [HR], 1.41; P = .044), non-ambulatory status (HR, 1.49; P = .008), hemodialysis (HR, 1.37; P = .020), left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% (HR, 1.72; P = .030), and wound, ischemia, and foot infection (WIfI) classification 4 (HR, 1.33; P = .032) were significantly associated with non-healing, whereas no below-the-ankle (BTA), below-the-knee (BTK) runoff, and Global Limb Anatomic Staging System (GLASS) IP grade had no statistically significant association with non-healing. Global Limb Anatomic Staging System IM grade 2 was an independent risk factor for wound healing in patients who underwent EVT with CLTI due to isolated IP disease.
