Popis: Vascular interventionalists have long debated on whether one or multiple patent tibial arteries (run-off) are necessary to treat critical limb ischemia, including ischemic rest pain and tissue loss. This review article seeks to clarify data surrounding this topic by including literature from retrospective studies, prospective studies, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials. Our conclusion is that revascularizing a single tibial artery to the foot is adequate for wound healing.
