Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

    Management

      Monitoring & Follow-up

      • Regularly assess perfusion status using ABI and Doppler studies.
      • Monitor infection burden through clinical signs and laboratory markers.

      Risks

        Patient & Prescribing Data

        Selection between ALBC and TTT should be based on a thorough assessment of the dominant clinical problem, including infection burden, perfusion status, and vascular anatomical feasibility.
