This volume defines practical guidelines for a multidisciplinary approach to critical limb ischemia and follows a step-by-step description of the latest techniques. It examines noninvasive and surgical treatment alternatives, including balloon angioplasty, stenting, cryoplasty, pharmacotherapy, and topical therapies combined with hyperbolic oxygen treatment. The contributors evaluate endovascular techniques and strategies for leg revascularization and review CLI classfication systems and current CLI management techniques from both European and US perspectives. The book also examines percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and below-the-knee angioplasty.
