Is the endovascular treatment of mild iliac stenoses worthwhile to improve wound healing in patients undergoing femorotibial bypass?

BACKGROUND:
After an infrapopliteal reconstruction, minor amputations are frequently required, but even in the case of successful revascularization, wound healing is a major concern. We studied the role of iliac artery inflow correction in patients undergoing infrapopliteal vein grafts to improve the heal of midfoot amputation.
