Objective:

To test the hypothesis that sciatic nerve atrophy (SNA) is a predictive factor for adverse wound outcomes (AWO) and amputation-free survival (AFS) in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) following endovascular treatment (EVT).

Key Findings:

SNA was identified as a risk factor for impaired wound healing and adverse wound outcomes, as per the study's findings.
The study included a comprehensive assessment of wound healing rates and complications following EVT.

Interpretation:

Remove this section as it includes unsupported claims.

Limitations:

The study was conducted at a single center, which may limit generalizability.
The sample size was not specified, potentially affecting the statistical power.

Conclusion:

Remove this section as it includes unsupported claims.
