Infrapopliteal atherosclerosis is a multilevel disease affecting below-the-knee(BTK)arteries and is particularly associated with chronic limb-threatening ischemia(CLTI),which might seriously affect the quality of life and even endanger the lives of patients.With the development of endovascular treatment technology and instruments,the treatment concept and technology for infrapopliteal artery occlusive disease have changed greatly.According to the domestic clinical practice experience in recent years,combined with the latest evidence-based clinical data and relevant foreign guidelines,we put forward this recommendation on the diagnosis and treatment norms suitable for the Chinese patients with infrapopliteal artery occlusive disease,in order to provide the latest clinical standards of practice for Chinese doctors in vascular surgery and related fields.
