Angiossomas do pé e do tornozelo: implica？？es no tratamento da isquémia crítica dos membros inferiores

revascularization by conventional surgery or endovascular procedures in patients with critical lower limb ischaemia plays an important role in preventing the loss of limb, in improving the quality of life and survival of these patients. however, up to 15% of the revascularization of ischemic ulcers of the foot, despite the technical success, may fail to heal and lead to a major amputation. this may be due to an inadequate local revascularization, with inadequate vascular connections between the revascularized artery and the ischemic site. the knowledge and application of the concept of the foot and ankle angiossomes allow the vascular surgeon to better plan, adequate therapeutic means and treat critical lower limb ischaemia.
