Triglyceride-glucose index for predicting the post-procedural wound healing of Rutherford grade 5 ischemia: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has come to be a new insulin resistance (IR) marker and has also been independently linked with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Rutherford Grade 5 ischemia is characterized by localized tissue loss or active ulceration, with critically compromised perfusion, a high propensity for infection, and a narrow healing window-making it the most refractory and precarious tipping point in limb-salvage therapy, where progression to amputation is most likely. The present study attempted to evaluate the clinic utility of the TyG index in predicting the post-procedural wound healing of Rutherford grade 5 ischemia. This analysis incorporated 98 cases of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) classified as Rutherford grade 5, treated via endovascular approaches from Jan
