Critical Limb Ischemia: CLI Diagnostics and Interventions

By MD Jihad A. Mustapha

CLI Diagnostics and Interventions will train physicians to evaluate a CLI patient through diagnostic modalities beginning with clinical evaluation and non-invasive diagnostic imaging, and leading to invasive diagnostic evaluation. It will also describe the approaches of endovascular interventions based on the diagnostic findings. Describing the latest endovascular techniques for revascularization of the vascular tree from the CFA to the pedal trees, the discussion includes the latest CTO crossing devices, atherectomy devices, drug-eluting delivery methods, including DES and DEB, and radiofrequency drug delivery methods. It will also incorporate the methodology of a preventive approach to complications and the access approach to be obtained with an exit strategy by showing ultrasound-guided access in CLI patients. Also, it will examine CLI interventions in high-risk patients utilizing ultrasound-based access with a primary focus on alternative access, including the combination of antegrade/retrograde access and interventions. It will showcase new retrograde access and intervention techniques, such as the TAMI technique and tips and tricks of retrograde access and transtibial interventions.
