Daniel Torrent: Amputation Is Not Inevitable in CLTI
Daniel Torrent, Vascular Surgeon at Longstreet Clinic, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Amputation is not the only option.
Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia (CLTI) is the end-stage of peripheral arterial disease.
It manifests as rest pain or non-healing wounds/gangrene.
Tragically, many patients with CLTI undergo primary amputation without ever having a vascular evaluation or an angiogram.
This is a failure of our healthcare system.
With modern endovascular techniques and open bypass surgery, we can salvage limbs that were once considered unsalvageable.
Saving a limb can improve not only quality of life, but overall longevity.”
