Ischemic Feet, Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty, Wound Heal
Conditions
Brief summary
Patient with occluded below the knee arteries and chronic limb ischemia Rutherford class V-VI are enrolled. During endovascular recanalisation procedure changes in tissue oxygen amount is recorded using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Primary hypothesis - NIRS can be used to determine sufficient amount of blood reaching the ulcered ishemic area. Secondary hypothesis - NIRS can be useful in detecting early recoil after BTK recanalisation.
Interventions
Near infrared spectroscopy non invasively used to register changes in tissue oxygen amount during endovascular revascularization
