Popis: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is the term used to describe chronic ischemia which is of a severity to endanger the whole or part of the leg. It is generally caused by advanced atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease producing an occlusion of a large artery or arteries in the leg. The hemodynamic consequences are increased resistance at the proximal obstruction with a reduction in distal perfusion pressure and blood flow to the peripheral circulation (1).
