Clinical and financial outcomes of endovascular versus open revascularization in acute limb ischemia
Although endovascular revascularization appears linked with reduced risk of in-hospital mortality and complication, it is also associated with greater risk of amputation at 90 days postdischarge. Our study finds that open revascularization may optimize potential for limb preservation in suitable candidates with acute limb ischemia but portends greater perioperative morbidity and mortality.
