TI  - Frequency of limb salvage after infra-inguinal bypass for chronic 
      limb-threatening ischaemia in diabetics: A retrospective study.

AB  - A study was conducted to assess the number of limbs salvaged among diabetic 
      patients with chronic limb-threatening ischaemia after infra-inguinal bypass 
      surgeries at a low- to middle-income country (LMIC) hospital. It was a 
      retrospective chart review of diabetic patients who underwent infra-inguinal 
      bypass for lower leg revascularisation for chronic limb-threatening ischaemia at 
      the Section of Vascular Surgery, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi (Pakistan) 
      from January 2008 till April 2019. Diabetic patients with chronic 
      limb-threatening ischaemia had a salvage rate of 90.5%(29/32) after 
      infra-inguinal bypass surgery in our set up which is comparable to those 
      described in the literature.
