Sarcopenia as a Possible Negative Predictor of Limb Salvage in Patients with Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia

Objective: Open revascularization of the lower extremity in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) does not guarantee limb salvage. Due to the high prevalence of frailty among these patients, we hypothesized that sarcopenia negatively affects limb prognosis. Methods: Seventy-five CLT...
