CLTI: exploring the challenges of endovascular intervention

Chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) remains a major challenge in peripheral vascular intervention, raising important questions about treatment strategies, procedural choices and long-term outcomes. 

In this PVI 2025 session, the speakers address the economic burden of CLTI, explore the challenges of below-the-knee (BTK) angioplasty and discuss the overall management of the desert foot. They also challenge conventional approaches by questioning whether plain balloon angioplasty is sufficient and examining the potential of resorbable scaffolds.

From established techniques to emerging technologies, what does it take to tackle the most challenging CLTI cases?
