Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Any critical limb threatening ischaemi (in the presence of a femoral pulse) should have initial radiological assessment with a Doppler ultrasound, used to assess the severity and anatomical location of any occlusion should be undertaken. Further imaging can be achieved via CT angiography (CTA) or MR angiography (MRA).
Detailed explanation-2: -“Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a clinical syndrome defined by the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in combination with rest pain, gangrene, or a lower limb ulceration >2 weeks duration. CLTI is associated with amputation, increased mortality and impaired quality of life. . . .
