Impact of Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacterial and Polymicrobial Infection on Wound Healing After Minor Forefoot Amputation in Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia With Infection
Abstract:Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between bacteriological findings and wound healing after minor amputation in the treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with infection. Methods: This single-center retrospective study analyzed 135 consecutive limbs with tissue loss and infection from 120 patients who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) and minor forefoot amputation for CLTI with wound infection between November 2017 and August 2021. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to as… Show more
