  1. *Statistical analysis was performed by univariate logistic regression analysis.
  2. Comparison of the distribution of the number of damaged vessels between limb salvage success group and failure group.
  3. ††Comparison of the number of damaged vessels between limb salvage success group and failure group.
  4. The number of damaged vessels was defined as those with partial occlusion plus those with total occlusion.
  5. Hb; hemoglobin, WBC; white blood cell, CRP; C-reactive protein, HbA1c; glycosylated hemoglobin, CT; computed tomography.
