Apply a comprehensive, multidisciplinary best-practice approach for patients with advanced peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia (CLI)/chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who are at risk for major amputation. Describe the magnitude of CLI/CLTI and amputation and efforts necessary to decrease unnecessary amputations in at-risk populations. Describe the decision algorithm for treatment decisions for patients with CLI/CLTI to include endovascular, surgical, and hybrid options. Describe the role of atherectomy in CLI/CLTI and its application in amputation prevention. Treat complex chronic total occlusions in tibial and pedal arterial vessels in the patient with CLI/CLTI. Describe arterial angiosome anatomy in conjunction with cutaneous and ultrasonic angiosome mapping in patients with advanced tibiopedal arterial disease who are at risk for major amputation. Implement procedural and technological advances in wound care practices for patients facing major amputation due to advanced PAD, advanced non-healing wounds, and gangrene. Identify the components necessary to build a multidisciplinary amputation-prevention program. Implement a diagnostic algorithm that includes selective angiography as a critical step for patients with CLI/CLTI who are at risk for amputation. Incorporate advanced tibiopedal access in combination with antegrade access in limb salvage procedures. Describe tips and tricks for safe and effective surgical and endovascular treatment of CLI/CLTI, from access to closure. Describe unique considerations when evaluating the diabetic foot ulcer in the setting of CLI/CLTI. Describe modern core wound principles for the CLI/CLTI practitioner. Describe currently available drug-eluting technology for the treatment of above-the-knee and below-the-knee lesions in the patient with CLI/CLTI. Describe current wire, catheter, balloon, crossing, atherectomy, re-entry, and closure devices available for treatment of CLI/CLTI, and describe mechanism of action and when most appropriate to utilize.
