BUDAL-ARINS, Marcel Voos  e  ALVAREZ, Antenor. Plantar arch revascularization in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia. Angiología [online]. 2023, vol.75, n.5, pp.326-329.  Epub 11-Dez-2023. ISSN 1695-2987.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/angiologia.00517.

Chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and it is on the rise due to the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM). In the last two decades, the feasibility and safety of revascularization of the plantar arch (PA) and the importance of an intact PA for wound healing have been demonstrated.

We report two cases of patients with CLTI who required endovascular revascularization of the PA to obtain wound healing and avoid major amputations.
