Systematic review of inframalleolar endovascular interventions and rates of limb salvage, wound healing, restenosis, rest pain, reintervention and complications.

15 , 17 , 19 A single article reported lower restenosis rates in the BTA angioplasty arm in comparison to the ATA angioplasty alone arm which approached significance at one year (15.8% vs. 47.8%, p = 0.059). 15 Katsanos et al. and Wei et al. reported incidence of restenosis at follow-up to be 64.1% at 19.6 months and 54.5% at 24 months, respectively. 19 Reintervention A total of six articles reported reintervention rates after BTA angioplasty. 14 , 16 , 19 – 22 There was no significant difference in reintervention rates between the BTA angioplasty and ATA alone angioplasty groups in the comparative articles.

24.0%, respectively) at 12-month follow-up; however, this failed to reach statistical significance. 15 The remaining comparative study combined minor and major amputation as a single outcome. 16 Similar rates of minor and major amputation in both the BTA arm and the ATA arm at 12-month follow-up (24.3% vs. 30.8%, p > 0.05) were reported 16 / Incidence from the remaining non-comparati
