Abstract
In the VQI registry, major LEA was performed predominantly for ischemic rest pain and tissue loss with a BKA:AKA ratio of 1.29:1. Patients undergoing AKA versus BKA were older, had lower ABI, lower rates of 30-day postoperative complications but higher rates of 30-day mortality. This registry offers an important real-world resource for studies pertaining to vascular surgery patients undergoing major lower extremity amputation.
