| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The results of revascularization were assessed clinically, and hemodynamically by determination of ankle-brachial index (ABI) and anatomically using postoperative DUS. The composite endpoint of major amputation and/or death 30 days after surgery was defined as the main study outcome. | — |
