Inter-Society Consensus for the Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II). Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg.More recently classifications, such as the Society for Vascular Surgery “Wound, Ischemia and Foot Infection” (WIFI) classification, take into account that ischemia and angiographic disease patterns are not the only determinants of amputation risk. The TASC (and TASC II) classification suggested PAD treatment by severity of disease seen on angiogram. Grade IV, Category 6: Major tissue loss Severe ischemic ulcers or frank gangrene.Grade III, Category 5: Minor tissue loss Ischemic ulceration not exceeding ulcer of the digits of the foot.Grade I, Category 3: Severe claudication.Grade I, Category 2: Moderate claudication.Rutherford in 1986 and revised in 1997 consists of four grades and seven categories: Rutherford ‘s classification of peripheral vascular disease (PVD)Ī classification introduced by Robert B. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a major risk factor for nonhealing foot ulcers in people with diabetes. Disease location is associated with survival in patients with peripheral arterial disease. Stage IV: Ischemic ulcers or gangrene (which may be dry or humid). Chen Q, Smith Carin Y, Bailey Kent R, Wennberg Paul W, Kullo Iftikhar J.Second, during the night the lack of sensory stimuli allow patients to focus on their legs.
