Puneet Kumar Agarwal, Vikram Vasuniya

Abstract :

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is considered the most severe clinical manifestation of peripheral artery disease (PAD). These patients carry high risk of amputation and mortality. CLI patientfaces may problems like restriction of movement, starvation of services and depression. Therapeutic goals in treating these patients include relieving ischemic pain, reducing cardiovascular risk factors, preventing major amputation, improving quality of life and increasing survival.Revascularization is the primary treatment strategy in critical limb ischemia patients. Many patients are not treatable by conventional techniques.This review article provides a comprehensive summary that includes current trends in the management of Critical limb ischemia like endovascular revascularization,gene and cell based therapies and drug eluting stents (DESs) etc.
