while claudication patients demonstrated no difference: mortality (0.94, CI 0.83-1.07, P¼.325) and major amputation (0.69, CI 0.44-1.07, P¼.095).CONCLUSION: ATH is associated with lower mortality and amputation rates in patients treated for CLTI. This was not similarly observed in claudicants. These data deserve further study to determine which patients may benefit most from ATH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
