The Impact of Previous Surgery and Revisions on Outcome after Major Lower Limb Amputation

摘要: Introduction Morbidity and mortality after lower limb amputation (LLA) remain disappointingly high. This study aimed to assess the impact of previous ipsilateral vascular intervention on outcomes major LLA. Methods Prospective data were collected for all LLAs performed between January 2010 December 2011. Those who underwent a primary compared with secondary amputees establish if interventions risk factor morbidity mortality. Results One hundred forty-eight patients LLA during period; 102 amputees, 46 (31.1%) had undergone revascularization. The groups well matched demographics comorbidities. amputations older ( P  = 0.016) more likely suffer from hypercholesterolemia  = 0.027). Previous was not found be proximal level  = 0.341) or increased postoperative  = 0.782), however. Conclusions Patients have revascularization may at higher revision surgery. Survival does appear associated attempts.
