Two-Year Clinical Outcomes of Critical Limb-Threatening Ischemia Versus Claudication After Femoropopliteal Endovascular Therapy: An Analysis from K-VIS ELLA Registry.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Endovascular therapy (EVT) is the treatment of choice for femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease manifesting as critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) or intermittent claudication (IC). This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of patients with CLTI with those of patients with IC after EVT in a real-world setting. Methods: In total, 1924 patients with FPA disease (CLTI: n = 812, IC: n = 1112) from the K-VIS ELLA (Korean Vascular Intervention Society Endovascular Therapy in Lower Limb Artery Diseases) registry who underwent EVT between 2006 and 2021 were analyzed. The primary endpoint was defined as target limb amputation or clinically driven (CD) target extremity revascularization (TER) 2 years after the procedure. Results: The incidence
