Percutaneous Vascular Interventions Versus Bypass Surgeries in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia: A Comprehensive Meta-analysis.
The aim of our study was to compare percutaneous vascular interventions (PVI) versus bypass surgeries (BSX) in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). ⋯ For patients in good physical condition with long life-expectancy, BSX may represent a better choice compared with PVI, particularly when autogenous bypass is available. While enhanced perioperative care for cardiovascular events and surgical site should be considered in patients underwent BSX to achieve comparable short-term outcomes provided by PVI.
