AIRS CLINIC CLI FIGHTERS# 610 SOUTH FAIRMONT AMPUTATION PREVENTION LODI, CA AIRS CLINIC 610 S FAIRMONT AVE LODI, CA 209 224 5236 The Truth About Critical Limb Ischemia CLI and Amputation Critical Limb Ischemia or CLI, describes late stage changes of peripheral vascular disease. CLI may have several presentations to include: Leg pain at rest, nonhealing ulcers or gangrenous changes in the soft tissue of the legs and feet. Changes commonly seen in diabetics. 5 year death rate. These are the number of cancer deaths seen every 5 years-Lung cancer 192,000, Pancreatic cancer 51,000, Colorectal 49,000, Liver cancer 35,000 but CLI kills 58,000 in the same time. However, this does not capture the suffering associated with limb amputation. Many more patients will die each year from CLI than from many cancers considered to be the most lethal like: esophageal, brain, stomach, and ovarian, to name but a few. Limb amputation still continues to b an early consideration in many hospitals and clinics. 30% of patients present with rest pain and pain with walking but no evidence of actual tissue loss. Yet many of these patients will never have a diagnostic evaluation, and when compared to revascularization amputation doubles the risk of death over the following year. amputation as a first line treatment, however endovascular therapy doubles survival when compared to amputation. This must include the ability to accurately interpret diagnostic imaging, manipulate an array of specialized equipment and a mastery of specialized techniques like pedal retrograde access, intravascular ultrasound and ultrasound directed Tibio-Pedal techniques. This diverse tool box allows the experienced operator the ability to target complex lesions and avoid major amputation. DO NOT CONSIDER AMPUTATION WITHOUT FIRST BEING EVALUATED FOR REVASCULARIZATION OR BYPASS SURGERY CLI has a mortality rate of over 24% in a year and 60% in 5 years. To put this in perspective, when the top 22 cancers are evaluated only five have a higher Even in patients with gangrene or tissue Ioss, many health care providers still see Endovascular therapy for CLI must include a certain skill set as described by Dr. Mustapha and Dr. Saab, two internationally recognized CLI experts.
