Evaluation of paramalleolar and inframalleolar bypasses in dialysis- and nondialysis-dependent patients with critical limb ischemia

The use of PIMB for CLI was associated with excellent LS rates in both HD and NHD patients with low operative mortality and complications. However, the AFS rate observed in HD patients was significantly lower than that observed in NHD patients, indicating the necessity of a specific management program to improve AFS after LS in HD patients.
