Description
Toshihiko Kishida and co-authors followed in 2024 patients with severe leg artery disease who had a vessel-opening procedure. These patients have pain in the leg both when walking and at rest. The team wanted to know how often wounds form afterward. They also asked which patients are most at risk.
They tracked more than two hundred patients at one center over several years. Wounds formed in a rising share over three years after the procedure. Risk was higher for patients with the worst disease in small vessels below the ankle. It was also higher for those who could not walk. Patients treated down to below-knee vessels and those on dialysis faced higher risk too. The findings can help target close follow-up.
