    Chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI), also known as critical limb ischemia (CLI), is an advanced stage of peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is defined as ischemic rest pain, arterial insufficiency ulcers, and gangrene. The latter two conditions are jointly referred to as tissue loss, reflecting the development of surface damage to the ...

  4. Gangrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangrene

    Dry gangrene is often due to peripheral artery disease, but can be due to acute limb ischemia. As a result, people with atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, diabetes and smokers commonly have dry gangrene. [13] The limited oxygen in the ischemic limb limits putrefaction and bacteria fail to survive. The affected part is dry, shrunken, and dark ...

    Gangrene of three toes resulting from peripheral artery disease. The two most commonly used methods to classify peripheral artery disease are the Fontaine and Rutherford systems of classification. [62] The Fontaine stages were introduced by René Fontaine in 1954 to define the severity of chronic limb ischemia: [50] [62] [63] Stage I: asymptomatic

  6. Gas gangrene - Wikipedia

    Various diagnostic methods can be employed in the diagnosis of Gas gangrene. Due to low incidence of myonecrosis it is an easy-to-overlook diagnosis. As bacterial infections mostly exhibit the same symptoms, early diagnosis of gas gangrene rarely occurs. The ambiguous symptoms only contribute to a poorer prognosis. Diagnostic methods include: [15]

    In the 40-60% of people who go on to develop venous gangrene, there is a 20-50% risk of amputation and 20-40% mortality rate. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] Following PCD resolution patients are more likely to develop venous insufficiency and post-thrombotic syndrome [ 26 ]

  9. Bowel infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowel_infarction

    Primary vascular causes of bowel infarction, also known as mesenteric ischemia, are due to blockages in the arteries or veins that supply the bowel.Types of mesenteric ischemia are generally separated into acute and chronic processes, because this helps determine treatment and prognosis.
