Abstract
To determine the early and late outcome of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for critical limb ischaemia (CLI) in patients aged 80 years and over. Retrospective case note review of all patients aged 80 years and over who underwent attempted PTA for CLI between 1st January 1999 and 31st December 2000. Minimum follow-up was 12 months with a maximum of 42 months. One hundred and twenty-eight PTAs were attempted in 113 severely ischaemic limbs of 98 patients (36 men and 62 women of median age 84, range 80-97, years). Seventy patients had significant co-morbidity. The indication for revascularisation was rest pain in 47 procedures, ulceration in 66 and digital gangrene in 15. The anatomical segments involved were iliac (n=19), superficial femoral (n=92), popliteal (n=91) and infrapopliteal (n=72). The technical success rate was 108 of 128 (84%) procedures. Early technical complications occurred in 24 (19%) procedures: four major, 20 minor. The 30-day operative mortality rate was six of 128 (5%). The median (range) in-hospital stay was two (1-72) days. Early or delayed surgical revascularisation was required in 11 limbs and there were six major limb amputations during the study period. The 24-month patient survival rate was...Continue Reading
