Abstract
Vascular reconstructive surgery is the therapy of choice in patients with limb-threatening ischemia. Improved vascular techniques and an aggressive surgical approach have contributed to an increased foot salvage in patients with ischemic rest pain, non-healing ischemic ulcers, and gangrene. Nevertheless, patients remain in whom vascular surgery has no realistic chance of success despite technical progress, an aggressive surgical approach, and repeated reconstructions.
