    Percutaneous deep venous arterialisation for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia

    Closed for comments This consultation ended on at   Request commenting lead permission

    1 Draft recommendations

    1.1 Percutaneous deep venous arterialisation for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia should be used only in research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

    1.2 Further research should report:

    • details of patient selection

    • details of the procedure

    • duration of anticoagulation

    • patient outcomes (including planned and unplanned reintervention rate, major amputation rate, and quality of life).

    Why the committee made these recommendations

    The evidence is based on a small number of people and limited in quality. It includes different procedure techniques and different ways of selecting patients who have no other options for arterial revascularisation (restoring blood flow to a body part in which the blood vessels have become blocked). So, it is unclear who will benefit from the procedure. Overall, how well the procedure works and how safe it is are uncertain.
