Abstract
- Leg ischemia due to multi-level arterial occlusions connotes an advanced stage of atheroslcerosis. The characteristics of the patients with multi-level arterial occlusions are older, present more common as critical limb ischemia and associated with other organ dysfunctions. For treatment of those patients, various treatment modalities including open surgical and endovascular procedures can be used after considering the risks accompanied with the treatment. I would like to describe my own practical view points regarding the treatment of the patients with leg ischemia due to multi-level arterial occlusions.
