SYNPOSIS

Dr. Patrone explains his interest in critical limb ischemia (CLI) and describes how he reached out to colleagues around the world with the intention of drafting a paper that summarizes research in below-the-ankle interventions and increases awareness of the woundosome concept.

He explains the woundosome concept, which aims to understand how each patient’s foot vasculature influences the effectiveness of below-the-ankle interventions and tissue healing. Understanding each patient’s anatomy, having adequate imaging of the foot, obtaining pedal acceleration times, and using micro-oxygen sensors are strategies to assess wound perfusion, which is integral for treatment planning and prognosis. He illustrates these techniques in a case study of a non-healing wound.

Finally, Dr. Patrone shares some technical tips for below-the-ankle interventions, including the benefits of ipsilateral antegrade access, sheath selection, and strategic contrast administration.
