“…The general surgery and nutrition literature uses a woundhealing threshold of 3.5 g/dL, 6 and Pinzur et al 16,17 used a threshold of 3.0 g/dL. 3 The serum albumin levels returned to normal values in all but two patients postoperatively.…”
Amputation site wound closure may adversely affect the bypass graft, but results were not statistically significant. Treatment requires a closely coordinated team approach between the vascular surgeon and the orthopedic surgeon.

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.
