Angiosome Targeted PTA is More Important in Endovascular Revascularisation than in Surgical Revascularisation: Analysis of 545 Patients with Ischaemic Tissue Lesions

In diabetics, indirect endovascular revascularisation leads to significantly worse wound healing and leg salvage rates compared with direct revascularisation. Therefore, endovascular procedures should be targeted according to the angiosome concept. In bypass surgery, however, the concept is of less value and the artery with the best runoff should be selected as the outflow artery.
