Popis: Objectives:To compare the value of ankle and toe pressures as regards the diagnosis of critical ischaemia, its prognosis, and the need for vascular surgery.Design:University hospital-based retrospective study.Materials and methods:Fifty-seven patients (23 women and 34 men) with gangrene or rest pain had a haemodynamic evaluation combining ankle systolic pressure, toe pressure and cutaneous oximetry (tcPO2) with long-term follow-up (until death, for 44%).Results:After 2 years of follow-up, actuarial rates were 49 and 79% for survival and limb salvage, respectively. Ankle and toe pressures gave rise to different subsets of patients, p
