BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: Patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) have poor prognosis. Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is an established independent predictor of adverse outcome in various chronic illnesses. The use of PNI in patients with CLTI has not been studied.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of PNI on 12-month adverse cardiovascular and limb outcomes in CLTI patients after endovascular revascularization therapy (ERT).
METHODS: 270 consecutive patients with CLTI (mean age 73.7±11.9 years; 53% male) who underwent ERT at a single tertiary referral hospital between January 2009 and October 2016 were prospectively enrolled and analyzed. Patients were grouped by tertiles of PNI (lowest …
