Wound Healing on the Cutting Plane of Ankle Bones after Incomplete Revascularization for Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia in an Elderly Patient: A Case Report

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is an important issue for elderly patients with peripheral artery disease. Here, we present the case of a 91-year-old man with CLTI, residing in a rural district. The onset of CLTI rapidly deprived him of ambulation because of a foot infection. Given that he...

Sumario:Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is an important issue for elderly patients with peripheral artery disease. Here, we present the case of a 91-year-old man with CLTI, residing in a rural district. The onset of CLTI rapidly deprived him of ambulation because of a foot infection. Given that he had difficulty with long-distance transportation, limb salvage for extensive tissue loss was performed at a district facility, based on his and his family’s request. Finally, skin grafting on the cutting plane of the right ankle bones resulted in wound healing in six months after incomplete revascularization and multiple minor amputations.
