Summary

This study tested a device that creates a small connection between a vein and artery below the knee to reroute blood flow in people with critical limb ischemia, a severe condition where blocked arteries cause pain and wounds. The goal was to see if this procedure could help avoid amputation and heal wounds. The study included 34 people who had no other treatment options.
