Abstract
Achieving healing in patients with peripheral artery disease and lower extremity wounds represent a significant clinical challenge. Important outcome measures that define a successful therapeutic approach include wound healing rate, time to heal, and recurrence with time. This article reviews our experience managing a peripheral artery disease patient cohort at a Veterans Affairs medical center based on the initial clinical evaluation stratification and prospective enrollment into a predetermined treatment strategy.
