Gaps in Vascular Evaluation Before Major Lower-Extremity Amputation Among Medicare Beneficiaries With Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia

2026-04-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Guidelines recommend vascular specialist evaluation and revascularization consideration before major amputation in chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). Whether patients consistently receive pre-amputation vascular workup is poorly characterized nationally. <h4>Methods</h4> We conducted a retrospective cohort study of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries ≥66 years wit...
