Abstract
Background: Aim of this study was to assess the influence of intermitted negative pressure (INP) therapy on the foot microcirculation in patients with no-option CLTI. Patients and methods: CLTI patients defined as no option for revascularization on the basis of an interdisciplinary vascular board decision (interventional radiology, vascular surgery) were included in this study. INP therapy was performed at home. Therapy regime was: 1 hour twice daily. Follow-up was after 6 weeks and 3 months. Microcirculation measurement was performed by laser Doppler flowmetry and white light spectrometry (oxygen to see, O2CTM). Following parameters were evaluated: oxygen saturation (sO2 in%), relative hemoglobin (rHb) and flow (in arbitrary units A.U.). Additionally the clinical outcome of the patients was assessed. Results: From September 2020 to June 2022, 228 patients were screened. In total 19 patients (13 men, 6 women, mean age was 73.95 years) were included. 6 weeks after INP therapy the microcirculation showed a significant improvement for the parameter sO2 (%) (p=0.004). After 3 months a non-significant decrease compared to 6 weeks follow-up was seen for the parameter sO2; however, the perfusion was still improved compared to baseline measurement. With regard to the microperfusion values flow (AU) and hemoglobin (AU), the changes were not significant. Clinically, the patients reported a significant reduction of rest pain after therapy (p=0.005). Conclusions: INP therapy in no-option CLTI patients showed a significant improvement of the skin perfusion after 6 weeks. Therefore, INP therapy might have therapeutic potential in these critical ill patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our objective is to examine the pathophysiology of oedema in the ischaemic and post-revascularised limb, compare compression stockings to pneumatic compression devices, and summarise compression regimens in patients with severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) without revascularisation, after revascularisation, and in mixed arterial and venous disease. METHOD A scoping literature review of the aforementioned topics was carried out using PubMed. RESULTS Compression therapy has been shown to increase blood flow and aid in wound healing through a variety of mechanisms. Several studies suggest that intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices can be used to treat critical limb ischaemia in patients without surgical options. Additionally, compression stockings may have a role in preventing oedema after peripheral artery bypass surgery, thereby diminishing pain and reducing the risk of surgical wound dehiscence. CONCLUSION Oedema may occur in the ischaemic limb after revascularisation surgery, as well as in combination with venous disease. Clinicians should not fear using compression therapy in PAD.

Abstract
Objectives: Arterial leg ulcers (ALUs) pose a considerable burden on patients and health services. The cornerstone of treatment is revascularisation; however, this is not always possible and does not necessarily guarantee ulcer healing. Alternative treatment options are therefore also important. This narrative review aims to summarise the evidence available for non-surgical treatment of ALUs, including topical therapy, pharmacological agents, therapeutic angiogenesis and devices. Methods: A literature search was performed in November 2020 to identify studies reporting data on the non-surgical management of ALUs. Prospective randomised controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials and meta-analyses that investigated conservative or medical interventions on patients with intractable ALUs, and which provided quantitative data on ulcer healing were included. Following screening, studies that met the inclusion criteria underwent a data extraction process and findings were synthesised and categorised narratively. Results: In total, 14 controlled trials were selected for inclusion and analysed based on experimental protocol and outcome measures. Conclusion: There is some evidence available for the use of short-term systemic prostanoids, ultrasound therapy and pneumatic compression. There are limitations to these options including side effects, patient tolerance due to pain and availability in clinical practice. Further research is needed to improve treatment options for this complex group.

Abstract
Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) is commonly used to improve peripheral circulation of the lower extremity. However, its therapeutic dosage for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) at risk for ulcers is not well established. This study explored the effect of IPC with different inflation pressures on the distal microvascular responses of the foot in people with type 2 DM. Twenty-four subjects with and without DM were recruited. Three IPC protocols with inflation pressures of 60, 90, and 120 mmHg were applied to the foot. The foot skin blood flow (SBF) responses were measured by laser Doppler flowmetry during and after IPC interventions. Results show that all three IPC interventions significantly increased foot SBF of IPC stage in healthy subjects, but only 90 and 120 mmHg IPC significantly improved SBF in diabetic subjects. IPC with 90 and 120 mmHg showed a greater effect than 60 mmHg in both groups, but 120 mmHg IPC was more effective for diabetic subjects. This study demonstrates that 90 and 120 mmHg are effective dosages of IPC for improving blood flow in healthy people, and 120 mmHg IPC may be more suitable for people with type 2 DM.

Secondary outcomes from a randomized sham-controlled trial in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Ann Vasc Surg 2022; 86:144-157.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Treatment with intermittent negative pressure (INP) is proposed as an adjunct to standard care in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The aims of this study were to evaluate the applicability of a novel ultrasound Doppler device (earlybird) to assess blood flow characteristics in patients with PAD during a treatment session with INP, and whether certain flow-properties could determine whom could benefit INP treatment. METHODS Secondary outcomes of data from a randomized sham-controlled trial were explored. Patients were randomized to 12 weeks of treatment with 40 mmHg or 10 mmHg INP, for one hour twice daily. Earlybird blood flow velocity recordings were made before and after the 12-week treatment-period and consists of a 5-minute recording in rest, 3-minute during INP treatment and 5-minute recording after ended INP test-treatment. Mean blood flow velocity (vmean), relative changes in flow and frequency spectrum by Fourier-transform of the respective bandwidths of endothelial, sympathetic, and myogenic functions, were analyzed for the different series of blood flow measurements. RESULTS In total, 62 patients were eligible for analysis, where 32 patients were treated with 40 mmHg INP. The acquired recordings were of good quality and was used for descriptive analyses of flow characteristics. An immediate increase in vmean during the negative pressure periods of the INP test-treatment was observed in the 40 mmHg INP treatment group at both pre- and post-test. There was a significant difference between the treatment groups, with a difference between the medians of 13.7 (p < 0.001) at pretest and 10.7 (p < 0.001) at posttest. This finding was confirmed with spectrum analysis by Fourier-transform of the bandwidth corresponding to INP treatment. The change in amplitude corresponding to myogenic function after 12 weeks of treatment, was significantly different in favor of the 40 mmHg INP treatment group. We were not able to detect specific flow characteristics indicating whom would benefit INP-treatment. CONCLUSIONS Earlybird is an applicable tool for assessing blood flow velocity in patients with PAD. Analysis of the flow velocity recordings shows that INP induce an immediate increase in blood flow velocities during INP. The positive effects of INP may be attributed to recruitment of arterioles, and thereby increasing blood flow. In these analyses no flow characteristics was determined which could predict whom would benefit INP-treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The healing of foot wounds in patients with diabetes mellitus is frequently complicated by critical limb threatening ischemia (neuro-ischemic diabetic foot syndrome, DFS). In this situation, imminent arterial revascularization is imperative in order to avoid amputation. However, in many patients this is no longer possible ("too late", "too sick", "no technical option"). Besides conservative treatment or major amputation, many alternative methods supposed to decrease pain, promote wound healing, and avoid amputations are employed. We performed a narrative review in order to stress their efficiency and evidence. METHODS The literature research for the 2014 revision of the German evidenced-based S3-PAD-guidelines was extended to 2020. RESULTS If revascularization is impossible, there is not enough evidence for gene- and stem-cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, sympathectomy, spinal cord stimulation, prostanoids etc. to be able to recommend them. Risk factor management is recommended for all CLTI patients. With appropriate wound care and strict offloading, conservative treatment may be an effective alternative. Timely amputation can accelerate mobilization and improve the quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Alternative treatments said to decrease the amputation rate by improving arterial perfusion and wound healing in case revascularization is impossible and lack both efficiency and evidence. Conservative therapy can yield acceptable results, but early amputation may be a beneficial alternative. Patients unfit for revascularization or major amputation should receive palliative wound care and pain therapy. New treatment strategies for no-option CLTI are urgently needed.

Abstract
Leg and foot swelling is inherently found in 70% of patients with critical
limb-threatening ischaemia due to ischaemia, which does not necessitate any specific
intervention. Unilateral leg swelling is a vital sign for the clinical suspicion and
diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis and phlegmasia. There is a significant surgical dilemma
to delay the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis or phlegmasia in patients with critical
limb-threatening ischaemia when a methodical approach is not followed. We report a case of
proximal deep vein thrombosis in an elderly patient with ipsilateral critical
limb-threatening ischaemia and discuss the role of diagnostic tools. The role of
antiplatelets along with vitamin K antagonists, duration of anticoagulation, iliocaval
venous obstruction, compression therapy and inferior vena cava filter is discussed.

Abstract
This review highlights the range of therapeutic options available to clinicians treating difficult-to-heal wounds. While certain treatments are established in daily clinical practice, most therapeutic interventions lack robust and rigorous data regarding their efficacy, which would help to determine when, and for whom, they should be used. The purpose of this review is to give a broad overview of the available interventions, with a brief summary of the evidence base for each intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery, which is a major risk factor for venous thrombosis, has rarely been considered a risk factor for arterial thrombosis. Recent studies have suggested that venous and arterial thromboses share common risk factors and have a bidirectional relationship. Accordingly, there is a growing interest in the risk of arterial thrombosis after surgery. We report a case of acute bilateral lower extremity arterial thromboses that developed after a prolonged surgery.
CASE SUMMARY A 59-year-old man was hospitalized for intraocular foreign body removal surgery. He was a heavy-drinking smoker and had untreated hypertension and varicose veins in both legs. The operation was unexpectedly prolonged, lasting 4 h and 45 min. Immediately after emergence from general anesthesia, the patient complained of extreme pain in both legs. After the surgical drape was removed, cyanosis was evident in both feet of the patient. The pulse was not palpable, and continuous-wave Doppler signals were inaudible in the bilateral dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries. Computed tomography angiography confirmed acute bilateral thrombotic occlusion of the popliteal arteries, proximal anterior tibial arteries, and tibioperoneal trunks. Arterial pulse returned in both lower limbs after 6 h of heparin initiation. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 26 without any sequelae.
CONCLUSION Acute lower extremity arterial thrombosis can occur after surgery. Anesthesiologists should pay particular attention to patients with risk factors for thrombosis.

Abstract
Pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) or heart failure accompanied with chronic right ventricular pacing (CRVP-HF) has no established treatments. We aimed to carry out a meta-analysis of published studies about the therapeutic effects of the upgrade to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients of PICM/CRVP-HF. The PUBMED, EMBASE, MEDLINE, OVID databases, and Cochrane Library were systemically searched for relevant publications. Data about the improvements of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), NYHA functional class (NYHA-FC), and the CRT response rate was extracted and synthesized. Mean difference (MD), odds ratio, and standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated as the effect size by both fixed and random effect models. We included sixteen studies (four about PICM and twelve about CRVP-HF). The total sample size of PICM/CRVP-HF patients was 924. Upgrade to CRT improved the LVEF by 10.87% (95%CI, 8.90 to 12.84%) and reduce the NYHA-FC by around one class (MD, -1.25; 95%CI, -1.43 to -1.06) in PICM/CRVP-HF patients overall. Upgrade to CRT seemed to improve LVEF no less than de-novo CRT (SMD 0.24; 95%CI 0.05 to 0.43; P < 0.05). This meta-analysis suggested that upgrade CRT could improve the cardiac function in PICM/CRVP-HF patients. This strategy may be considered in these patients but require more evidence about the efficacy and procedure-related complications from prospective studies or randomized controlled trials.

Int Wound J 2020; 17:1483-1489.

Abstract
Intermittent pneumatic compression of the lower limbs has been shown to have beneficial effects in patients with chronic ulceration. However, the intermittent compression cuff will normally be applied over the wound, which may produce discomfort or interfere with other treatments. Thigh-only approaches to intermittent pneumatic compression could solve this problem. This study aimed to demonstrate if such a system would have positive effects on venous and arterial blood flow distal to the compression site, but proximal to wound sites. The distal venous and arterial effects of a prototype thigh-only 3-chamber sequential intermittent pneumatic compression system were tested in 20 healthy volunteers, and 13 patients with ulcers of various aetiologies using Doppler ultrasound. The system produced hyperaemic responses in the arterial flow of both test groups. The peak venous velocity on deflation of the first and second chambers of the cuff was also greater in the patients with ulceration than in the healthy volunteers (11.6 cm/s vs 8.3 cm/s, P = .1). This work demonstrates that compression of the thigh alone can produce positive haemodynamic effects in the calves of patients with chronic wounds, and that this approach should be investigated as a therapy to improve blood flow to wound sites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the most underdiagnosed, underestimated and undertreated of the atherosclerotic vascular diseases despite its poor prognosis. There may be racial or contextual differences in the Asia-Pacific region as to epidemiology, availability of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, and even patient treatment response. The Asian Pacific Society of Atherosclerosis and Vascular Diseases (APSAVD) thus coordinated the development of an Asia-Pacific Consensus Statement (APCS) on the Management of PAD. OBJECTIVES The APSAVD aimed to accomplish the following: 1) determine the applicability of the 2016 AHA/ACC guidelines on the Management of Patients with Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease to the Asia-Pacific region; 2) review Asia-Pacific literature; and 3) increase the awareness of PAD. METHODOLOGY A Steering Committee was organized to oversee development of the APCS, appoint a Technical Working Group (TWG) and Consensus Panel (CP). The TWG appraised the relevance of the 2016 AHA/ACC PAD Guideline and proposed recommendations which were reviewed by the CP using a modified Delphi technique. RESULTS A total of 91 recommendations were generated covering history and physical examination, diagnosis, and treatment of PAD-3 new recommendations, 31 adaptations and 57 adopted statements. This Asia-Pacific Consensus Statement on the Management of PAD constitutes the first for the Asia-Pacific Region. It is intended for use by health practitioners involved in preventing, diagnosing and treating patients with PAD and ultimately the patients and their families themselves.

Abstract
The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has published evidence-based guidelines on the prevention and management of diabetic foot disease since 1999. This guideline is on the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with foot ulcers and diabetes and updates the previous IWGDF Guideline. Up to 50% of patients with diabetes and foot ulceration have concurrent PAD, which confers a significantly elevated risk of adverse limb events and cardiovascular disease. We know that the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of these patients are markedly different to patients with diabetes who do not have PAD and yet there are few good quality studies addressing this important subset of patients. We followed the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology to devise clinical questions and critically important outcomes in the patient-intervention-comparison-outcome (PICO) format, to conduct a systematic review of the medical-scientific literature, and to write recommendations and their rationale. The recommendations are based on the quality of evidence found in the systematic review, expert opinion where evidence was not available, and a weighing of the benefits and harms, patient preferences, feasibility and applicability, and costs related to the intervention. We here present the updated 2019 guidelines on diagnosis, prognosis, and management of PAD in patients with a foot ulcer and diabetes, and we suggest some key future topics of particular research interest.

PLoS One 2019; 14:e0225950.

Abstract
Background There is a large group of patients with ischemia of lower limbs not suitable for surgical reconstruction of arteries treated with the help of external assist by intermittent pneumatic compression devices (IPC). Until recently the generally accepted notion was that by compressing tissues below the knee, veins become emptied, venous pressure drops to zero and the increased arterial-venous pressure gradient enables greater arterial flow. We used a pump that, in contradiction to the “empty veins” devices, limited the limb venous outflow by venous obstructions and in a long period therapy expanded the perfusion vessels and brought about persistent reactive hyperemia. Aim To check the toe and calf arterial inflow measured by venous stasis plethysmography and capillary flow velocity during arterial assist IPC in a long-term therapy of ischemic legs. Material and methods Eighteen patients (12M, 6F) age 62 to 75 with leg peripheral arterial disease (PAD, Fontaine stage II) were studied. Pneumatic device with two 10cm wide cuffs (foot, calf) (Bio Compression Systems, Moonachie, NJ, USA) inflated to 120 mmHg for 5–6 sec to obstruct the venous flow, deflation time 16 sec, applied for 45–60 min daily for a period of 2 years. Results At pump inflation increase in toe arterial pressure, volume, capillary blood flow velocity and one-minute arterial inflow test was observed. Increased toe volume appeared concomitantly with the inflated chamber venous obstruction. Resting pressure in the great saphenous vein increased. The two years therapy showed persistence of the resting limb increased toe capillary flow. Intermittent claudication distance increased by 20–120%. After two years arterial assist TBI increased from 0.2 to 0.6 (range 0.3 to 0.8) (p<0.05 vs pre-therapy). The toe arterial inflow dominated over that in calf skin and muscles, nevertheless, there was prolongation of the claudication distance presumably due to dilatation of exchange vessels also in muscles. Conclusions Our arterial assist IPC brought about increase in the toe capillary flow, long lasting dilatation of toe capillaries and extension of painless walking distance. The crucial factor of rhythmic repeated venous outflow obstructions should be taken into account in designing effective assist devices.

Abstract
Under the direction of the German Society of Phlebology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Phlebologie) and in cooperation with other specialist associations, the S1 guideline on intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) was adopted in January 2018. It replaces the previous guideline from March 2005. The aim of the guideline is to optimize the indication and therapeutic use of IPC in vascular diseases and edema. An extensive literature search of MEDLINE, existing guidelines, and work relevant to the topic was performed. In view of the often methodologically weak study quality with often small numbers of cases and heterogeneous treatment protocols, recommendations can often only be derived from the available data using good clinical practice/expert consensus. Intermittent pneumatic compression is used for thromboembolism prophylaxis, decongestive therapy for edema, and to positively influence arterial and venous circulation to improve clinical symptoms and accelerate ulcer healing in both the outpatient and inpatient care setting. The therapy regimens and devices used depend on the indication and target location. They can be used as outpatient and inpatient devices as well as at home for long-term indications. A target indication is thrombosis prophylaxis. IPC should be used in severe chronic venous insufficiency (stages C4b to C6), in extremity lymphedema as an add-on therapy and in peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) with stable intermittent claudication or critical ischemia. IPC can be used in post-traumatic edema, therapy-resistant venous edema, lipedema and hemiplegia with sensory deficits and edema. Absolute and relative contraindications to IPC must be taken into account and risks considered and avoided as far as possible. Adverse events are extremely rare if IPC is used correctly. If the indication and application are correct-also as an add-on therapy-it is a safe and effective treatment method, especially for the treatment of the described vascular diseases and edema as well as thrombosis prophylaxis.

Abstract
GUIDELINE SUMMARY Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with mortality, amputation, and impaired quality of life. These Global Vascular Guidelines (GVG) are focused on definition, evaluation, and management of CLTI with the goals of improving evidence-based care and highlighting critical research needs. The term CLTI is preferred over critical limb ischemia, as the latter implies threshold values of impaired perfusion rather than a continuum. CLTI is a clinical syndrome defined by the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in combination with rest pain, gangrene, or a lower limb ulceration >2 weeks duration. Venous, traumatic, embolic, and nonatherosclerotic etiologies are excluded. All patients with suspected CLTI should be referred urgently to a vascular specialist. Accurately staging the severity of limb threat is fundamental, and the Society for Vascular Surgery Threatened Limb Classification system, based on grading of Wounds, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) is endorsed. Objective hemodynamic testing, including toe pressures as the preferred measure, is required to assess CLTI. Evidence-based revascularization (EBR) hinges on three independent axes: Patient risk, Limb severity, and ANatomic complexity (PLAN). Average-risk and high-risk patients are defined by estimated procedural and 2-year all-cause mortality. The GVG proposes a new Global Anatomic Staging System (GLASS), which involves defining a preferred target artery path (TAP) and then estimating limb-based patency (LBP), resulting in three stages of complexity for intervention. The optimal revascularization strategy is also influenced by the availability of autogenous vein for open bypass surgery. Recommendations for EBR are based on best available data, pending level 1 evidence from ongoing trials. Vein bypass may be preferred for average-risk patients with advanced limb threat and high complexity disease, while those with less complex anatomy, intermediate severity limb threat, or high patient risk may be favored for endovascular intervention. All patients with CLTI should be afforded best medical therapy including the use of antithrombotic, lipid-lowering, antihypertensive, and glycemic control agents, as well as counseling on smoking cessation, diet, exercise, and preventive foot care. Following EBR, long-term limb surveillance is advised. The effectiveness of nonrevascularization therapies (eg, spinal stimulation, pneumatic compression, prostanoids, and hyperbaric oxygen) has not been established. Regenerative medicine approaches (eg, cell, gene therapies) for CLTI should be restricted to rigorously conducted randomizsed clinical trials. The GVG promotes standardization of study designs and end points for clinical trials in CLTI. The importance of multidisciplinary teams and centers of excellence for amputation prevention is stressed as a key health system initiative.

Abstract
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is associated with mortality, amputation, and impaired quality of life. These Global Vascular Guidelines (GVG) are focused on definition, evaluation, and management of CLTI with the goals of improving evidence-based care and highlighting critical research needs. The term CLTI is preferred over critical limb ischemia, as the latter implies threshold values of impaired perfusion rather than a continuum. CLTI is a clinical syndrome defined by the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in combination with rest pain, gangrene, or a lower limb ulceration >2 weeks duration. Venous, traumatic, embolic, and nonatherosclerotic etiologies are excluded. All patients with suspected CLTI should be referred urgently to a vascular specialist. Accurately staging the severity of limb threat is fundamental, and the Society for Vascular Surgery Threatened Limb Classification system, based on grading of Wounds, Ischemia, and foot Infection (WIfI) is endorsed. Objective hemodynamic testing, including toe pressures as the preferred measure, is required to assess CLTI. Evidence-based revascularization (EBR) hinges on three independent axes: Patient risk, Limb severity, and ANatomic complexity (PLAN). Average-risk and high-risk patients are defined by estimated procedural and 2-year all-cause mortality. The GVG proposes a new Global Anatomic Staging System (GLASS), which involves defining a preferred target artery path (TAP) and then estimating limb-based patency (LBP), resulting in three stages of complexity for intervention. The optimal revascularization strategy is also influenced by the availability of autogenous vein for open bypass surgery. Recommendations for EBR are based on best available data, pending level 1 evidence from ongoing trials. Vein bypass may be preferred for average-risk patients with advanced limb threat and high complexity disease, while those with less complex anatomy, intermediate severity limb threat, or high patient risk may be favored for endovascular intervention. All patients with CLTI should be afforded best medical therapy including the use of antithrombotic, lipid-lowering, antihypertensive, and glycemic control agents, as well as counseling on smoking cessation, diet, exercise, and preventive foot care. Following EBR, long-term limb surveillance is advised. The effectiveness of nonrevascularization therapies (eg, spinal stimulation, pneumatic compression, prostanoids, and hyperbaric oxygen) has not been established. Regenerative medicine approaches (eg, cell, gene therapies) for CLTI should be restricted to rigorously conducted randomizsed clinical trials. The GVG promotes standardization of study designs and end points for clinical trials in CLTI. The importance of multidisciplinary teams and centers of excellence for amputation prevention is stressed as a key health system initiative.

Abstract
This was a prospective observational pilot study of a unique intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device designed to be applied in the thigh region of the affected limb in patients with lower limb ulceration of both venous and mixed (venous and arterial) aetiologies. This compression system consists of a circumferential three-chamber thigh garment and an electronic pneumatic compression pump operating over a repeated 4-minute cycle. Patients were recruited from outpatient wound clinics. Those recruited were treated with standard therapy in addition to IPC, which was applied for 2 hours per day, and followed up for a total of 8 weeks. The primary objective of the study was to examine the effects of IPC on wound healing over an 8-week period. The other objectives were to assess patients' experiences of pain and the acceptability of IPC device. Twenty-one patients were recruited, and wounds progressed towards healing in 95.24% (20/21) of the patients. Pain scores decreased in 83.33% (15/18) of the patients. Most patients felt that the thigh-applied IPC device was comfortable and easy to apply and remove. The thigh-administered IPC device can be recommended for use in routine clinical practice, especially when other treatment options are limited.

Abstract
Clinical outcomes in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) depend not only on endovascular restoration of macrovascular blood flow but also on aggressive periprocedural wound care. Education about this area of CLI therapy is essential not only to maximize the benefits of endovascular therapy but also to facilitate participation in the multidisciplinary care crucial to attaining limb salvage. In this article, we review the advances in wound care products and therapies that have granted the wound care specialist the ability to heal previously nonhealing wounds. We provide a primer on the basic science behind wound healing and the pathogenesis of ischemic wounds, familiarize the reader with methods of tissue viability assessment, and provide an overview of wound debridement techniques, dressings, hyperbaric therapy, and tissue offloading devices. Lastly, we explore emerging technology on the horizons of wound care.

Abstract
Intermittent negative pressure (INP) applied to the lower leg and foot may increase peripheral circulation. However, it is not clear how different patterns of INP affect macro‐ and microcirculation in the foot. The aim of this study was therefore to determine the effect of different patterns of negative pressure on foot perfusion in healthy volunteers. We hypothesized that short periods with INP would elicit an increase in foot perfusion compared to no negative pressure. In 23 healthy volunteers, we continuously recorded blood flow velocity in a distal foot artery, skin blood flow, heart rate, and blood pressure during application of different patterns of negative pressure (−40 mmHg) to the lower leg. Each participant had their right leg inside an airtight chamber connected to an INP generator. After a baseline period at atmospheric pressure, we applied four different 120 sec sequences with either constant negative pressure or different INP patterns, in a randomized order. The results showed corresponding fluctuations in blood flow velocity and skin blood flow throughout the INP sequences. Blood flow velocity reached a maximum at 4 sec after the onset of negative pressure (average 44% increase above baseline, P < 0.001). Skin blood flow and skin temperature increased during all INP sequences (P < 0.001). During constant negative pressure, average blood flow velocity, skin blood flow, and skin temperature decreased (P < 0.001). In conclusion, we observed increased foot perfusion in healthy volunteers after the application of INP on the lower limb.

Abstract
Since 1980, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) have translated scientific evidence into clinical practice guidelines with recommendations to improve cardiovascular health. These guidelines, based on systematic methods to evaluate and classify evidence, provide a cornerstone of quality cardiovascular care. In response to reports from the Institute of Medicine1 ,2 and a mandate to evaluate new knowledge and maintain relevance at the point of care, the ACC/AHA Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines (Task Force) modified its methodology.3 –5 The relationships among guidelines, data standards, appropriate use criteria, and performance measures are addressed elsewhere.5

Abstract
Since 1980, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) have translated scientific evidence into clinical practice guidelines with recommendations to improve cardiovascular health. These guidelines, based on systematic methods to evaluate and classify evidence, provide a cornerstone of quality cardiovascular care. In response to reports from the Institute of Medicine1 ,2 and a mandate to evaluate new knowledge and maintain relevance at the point of care, the ACC/AHA Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines (Task Force) modified its methodology.3 –5 The relationships among guidelines, data standards, appropriate use criteria, and performance measures are addressed elsewhere.5

Abstract
Compression therapy is the basis for successful treatment in most patients with venous leg ulcers. Concerning compression therapy, the initial phase of decongestion and the following phase of maintenance should be differentiated. While in the maintenance phase (ulcer) stocking systems are now frequently recommended, in the decongestion phase compression bandages are mostly still used, which however are often inappropriately applied. In German-speaking countries, compression therapy with short-stretch bandages has a long tradition. However, their correct application requires good training and monitoring, which is often lacking in daily practice. Less error-prone treatment alternatives are multicomponent systems, some of which have an optical marker for the control of the correct subbandage pressure. In another new type of compression system, which is called adaptive or wrap bandages, the compression pressure can be adjusted using a Velcro fastener. Accompanying intermittent pneumatic compression therapy can also be used in the decongestion phase. Thus, there are now several different treatment options that can be used for the decongestion phase in patients with venous leg ulcers. Often bandages with short-stretch materials are very prone to errors and should in most cases be replaced by other compression systems today. The patient's preference, need, and capability should be considered when selecting the appropriate system for the individual patient.

Abstract
Compression therapy is well-tried treatment with only few side effects for most patients with leg ulcers and/or edema. Despite the very long tradition in German-speaking countries and good evidence for compression therapy in different indications, recent scientific findings indicate that the current situation in Germany is unsatisfactory. Today, compression therapy can be performed with very different materials and systems. In addition to the traditional bandaging with Unna Boot, short-stretch, long-stretch, or multicomponent bandage systems, medical compression ulcer stockings are available. Other very effective but far less common alternatives are velcro wrap systems. When planning compression therapy, it is also important to consider donning devices with the patient. In addition to compression therapy, intermittent pneumatic compression therapy can be used. Through these various treatment options, it is now possible to develop an individually accepted, geared to the needs of the patients, and functional therapy strategy for nearly all patients with leg ulcers.

Abstract
Objectives The present review represents a translational boundary between basic research and surgery, particularly focusing on the promising application of adipose-derived stem cells harvested intra-operatively during debridement of venous leg ulcers. Methods We reviewed 830 out of 5578 articles on MEDLINE starting from 1997 and sorted by the relevance option. Results The technique currently used for adipose-derived stem cells intra-operative harvesting is presented, including a safety evaluation on a cohort of 5089 revised patients who underwent plastic surgery and maxillo-facial surgical procedures. Complications were reported in 169 cases (3.3%). One hundred and forty-one (2.77%) patients were classified as having minor complications, specifically: nodularity/induration 93 (1.83%), dysesthesia 14 (0.26%), hematoma 12 (0.23%), superficial infection 11 (0.21%), pain 7 (0.13%), poor cosmesis 3 (0.06%), and abnormal breast secretion 1 (0.02%), while 28 patients (0.55%) were classified as having major complications, specifically: deep infection 22 (0.43%), sepsis 3 (0.06%), abdominal hematoma 2 (0.04%), and pneumothorax 1 (0.02%). Application of cell therapy in venous leg ulcer is currently used only for patients not responding to the standard treatment. The review shows the lack of randomized clinical trials for application of adipose-derived stem cells among treatments for venous leg ulcer. Finally, adipose-derived stem cells implantation at the wound site promotes a new tissue formation rich in vascular structures and remodeling collagen. Conclusion Adipose-derived stem cells strategy represents a great opportunity for the treatment of chronic wounds, due to the simplicity of the technique and the application of cell treatment in the operating room immediately following debridement. However, clinical studies and data from randomized trials are currently lacking.
