“Impact of Rural Status on Lower Extremity Bypass Outcomes for Patients With Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia” was published in Annals of Vascular Surgery.

Dr. Grace M. Djapri and co-authors reviewed 2016 - 2022 BMC2 data to assess the impact of rural status on lower extremity bypass (LEB) outcomes for patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia.

Vascular surgery registry data on rural-urban commuting area codes and major adverse cardiovascular events, 30-day and 1-year mortality, hospital readmission, bypass revision, wound complications, amputations, and 30-day renal failure requiring dialysis were included.

The study determined that rural status does not impact lower extremity bypass outcomes.

Dr. Djapri’s co-authors are Constantinos Constantinou, MD; Jeremy Albright, PhD; Yetunde Balogun, MD, MPH; Pavan Canamolu, PA-C; Jacob Frisbie, DO; Peter Henke, MD; Loay S. Kabbani, MD; Andris Kazmers, MD; Nicolas J. Mouawad, MD, MPH, MBA, RPVI; Nick Osborne, MD, MPH; and Carolyn Postol, DO.
