Abstract
The Taiwan Society of Cardiology (TSOC) and Taiwan Society of Plastic Surgery (TSPS) have collaborated to develop a joint consensus for the management of patients with advanced vascular wounds. The taskforce comprises experts including preventive cardiologists, interventionists, and cardiovascular and plastic surgeons. The consensus focuses on addressing the challenges in diagnosing, treating, and managing complex wounds; incorporates the perfusion evaluation and the advanced vascular wound care team; and highlights the importance of cross-disciplinary teamwork. The aim of this joint consensus is to manage patients with advanced vascular wounds and encourage the adoption of these guidelines by healthcare professionals to improve patient care and outcomes. The guidelines encompass a range of topics, including the definition of advanced vascular wounds, increased awareness, team structure, epidemiology, clinical presentation, medical treatment, endovascular intervention, vascular surgery, infection control, advanced wound management, and evaluation of treatment results. It also outlines a detailed protocol for assessing patients with lower leg wounds, provides guidance on consultation and referral processes, and offers recommendations for various wound care devices, dressings, and products. The 2024 TSOC/TSPS consensus for the management of patients with advanced vascular wounds serves as a catalyst for international collaboration, promoting knowledge exchange and facilitating advancements in the field of advanced vascular wound management. By providing a comprehensive and evidence-based approach, this consensus aims to contribute to improved patient care and outcomes globally.
