Patient-centered clinical success after lower extremity revascularization for complex diabetic foot wounds treated in a multidisciplinary setting.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Physician-oriented outcomes, such as patency and amputation-free survival (AFS), have traditionally been markers of success after lower extremity revascularization. Previous studies have defined clinical success based on a composite of patient-centered outcomes and have shown this outcome to be achieved in less than 50% of patients, far lower than standard physician-oriented outcomes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical success after lower extremity bypass (LEB) or peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) for tissue loss in diabetic patients treated in a multidisciplinary setting to better understand what factors are associated with success from a patient's perspective.

Methods

All patients presenting to our multidisciplinary diabetic limb preservation
