  • Apply a comprehensive, multidisciplinary best-practice approach for patients with advanced peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who are at risk for major amputation.
  • Describe the magnitude of CLTI and amputation and efforts necessary to decrease unnecessary amputations in at-risk populations.
  • Describe the decision algorithm for treatment decisions for patients with CLTI to include endovascular, surgical, and hybrid options.
  • Describe the role of atherectomy in CLTI and its application in amputation prevention.
  • Treat complex chronic total occlusions in tibial and pedal arterial vessels in the patient with 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 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 CLTI, from access to closure.
  • Describe unique considerations when evaluating the diabetic foot ulcer in the setting of CLTI.
  • Describe modern core wound principles for the CLTI practitioner.
  • Describe currently available drug-eluting technology for the treatment of above-the-knee and below-the-knee lesions in the patient with CLTI.
