Abstract
Readmissions after lower extremity endovascular or surgical interventions can be used as a quality metric. Patients with dialysis dependency, COPD, in need of emergent operation, or having cardiac arrest are highly likely to be readmitted if treated with endovascular interventions. Similarly, patients with high body mass index are highly likely to be readmitted if treated with open surgical bypasses.
