In the groundbreaking BEST-CLI (Best Endovascular vs. Best Surgical Therapy in Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia) trial, a surprising and important observation emerged: female patients had fewer limb amputations than their male counterparts.
Dr. Katharine McGinigle, vascular surgeon-scientist and a board member of the American Limb Preservation Society (ALPS), led the gender-based secondary analysis of the trial. Here’s what they found:
Chongqing, Los Angeles — A landmark global study published today in Research (DOI: 10.34133/research.0702) projects a 220% increase in peripheral artery disease (PAD) cases worldwide by 2050, with prevalence expected to rise from 113 million in 2021 to more than 360 million.
The 3-Minute Diabetic Foot Exam is a powerful tool in the global fight against preventable amputations. In just three minutes, clinicians can identify critical warning signs and intervene early—potentially saving not just limbs, but lives. At the American Limb Preservation Society, we believe this simple, scalable exam belongs in every clinical setting.
The American Limb Preservation Society (ALPS) is proud to announce a new affiliation and partnership with International Federation of Podiatrists (FIP) marking a significant stride forward in the mission to prevent avoidable amputation.
