To evaluate the predictive value of skin perfusion pressure (SPP) measured 48 hours after endovascular treatment for forecasting early wound healing in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).
Key Findings:
Increased SPP at 48 hours post-treatment is significantly associated with early wound healing.
Patients with higher SPP values demonstrated improved healing rates compared to those with lower values.
SPP serves as a reliable prognostic indicator for wound healing in CLTI patients.
Interpretation:
The findings suggest that monitoring SPP shortly after endovascular treatment can help identify patients likely to experience successful wound healing, aiding in clinical decision-making.
Limitations:
The study may have a limited sample size affecting the generalizability of results.
Long-term outcomes beyond the initial healing phase were not assessed.
Conclusion:
Increased skin perfusion pressure 48 hours after endovascular treatment is a promising predictor of early wound healing in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.
