Question Title

* 13. Following the session, in making recommendations about revascularization approach for your CLTI patients, will you:

Customize the recommendation based on the PLAN framework

Prioritize the approach based on ease of access to the required facilities or staff

Always recommend an endovascular intervention first

Question Title

* 14. Following the session, would you incorporate a multidisciplinary team (i.e. routine involvement of specialist(s) from podiatry, cardiology, vascular medicine, radiology, others) in the care of your patients with CLTI?

Only for selected patients

Routinely

Rarely

Never/not available in my everyday practice

Question Title

* 15. A 69 yo black female with type 2 diabetes presents with 2 weeks history of evolving gangrene of the left hallux to the level of the MTP joint, mild cellulitis, and rest pain. She has been generally active until very recently, no known CAD or CVD, stage 2 CKD. She takes metformin, atorvastatin, lisinopril, and aspirin. Femoral pulses are 2+ bilaterally; popliteal and pedal pulses not palpable. The left ABI is 0.5 and toe pressure measured at the second digit is 18 mm Hg with minimal pulsatility.

Based on the information provided, the most likely patient risk and limb stage severity for this patient is:

Average patient risk, high limb threat severity (WIfI 4)

High patient risk, high limb threat severity (WIfI 4)

Average patient risk, moderate limb threat severity (WIfI 3)

High patient risk, moderate limb threat severity (WIfI 3)

Question Title

* 16. A selective left leg angiogram is performed, revealing occlusion of the distal SFA at the adductor canal, diffuse and severe popliteal disease, occlusion of tibioperoneal trunk, reconstitution of the peroneal artery in the upper calf which then reconstitutes the distal anterior tibial in the lower third of the leg, with intact dorsalis pedis into the foot. The posterior tibial is not visualized. In using the GLASS system to estimate anatomic complexity of disease, which of the following are true:

The preferred target artery path (TAP) should be the anterior tibial artery

The preferred target artery path (TAP) should be the peroneal artery

Regardless of the selected TAP, the GLASS stage is 3 (high complexity) due to the severity of the popliteal and trifurcation disease

Expected technical failure rate for endovascular is <10%
