Sex Differences in Trends and In‐Hospital Outcomes Among Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia: A Nationwide Analysis
Background Critical limb ischemia (CLI) represents the most severe form of peripheral artery disease and is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Contemporary data comparing the sex differences in trends, revascularization strategies, and in‐hospital outcomes among patients with CLI a...
