Abstract
Hispanic patients present more frequently with isolated infrapopliteal arterial disease relative to other ethnicities, which may contribute to disparate CLI outcomes. Isolated infrapopliteal disease appears to be driven mostly be poorer glycemic control rather than inherent biologic differences between ethnicities. Future studies aimed at understanding disparate outcomes due to race after lower extremity revascularization may benefit from stratification by the severity of diabetes mellitus. Understanding the distribution of atherosclerotic disease may improve the ability to predict outcomes in limb-threatening ischemia.
