“…In this context, in spite of endovascular therapy for lower limb ischemia being recognized as a significantly less costly procedure than surgery without significant differences in amputationfree survival [5], primary leg amputation in CLI patients might seem to be a better option for patients with CLI, especially in individuals for whom there are risk factors for poor treatment outcome [6]. However, such risk-factor scores for CLI have still not been published [7].…”
