Abstract
Mortality rates in elderly patients with CLI are high, corresponding with a decreased life expectancy, regardless of the type of intervention. Revascularization is associated with high periprocedural mortality, especially in octogenarians. Conservative treatment is noninferior to nonconservative treatment in terms of mortality and should be considered as the treatment in octogenarians with substantial comorbidity.
