Thigh sarcopenia and hypoalbuminemia predict impaired overall survival after infrainguinal revascularization in patients with critical limb ischemia

This study was performed to determine whether thigh sarcopenia can serve as a clinically relevant predictor of postoperative complications and overall survival after revascularization in patients with critical limb ischemia.Patients who underwent preoperative computed tomography followed by infrainguinal revascularization from 2006 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. An axial computed tomography image was obtained at the midpoint of a line...
