Objective: To evaluate and describe the clinical results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of critical limb ischemia in a level IV care center. Materials and methods: Observational analytical ambispective cohort study. Results: An infra-popliteal angioplasty was performed in the Radiology service of FOSCAL and FOSCAL International between the months of September 2013 and April 2016 to 65 patients. Prior to the procedure, 89% of the patients presented claudicati coldness of the limb, 81% of the patients presented ulceration and 64% infection, noting that 63% of the population had 3 associated symptoms. The patients were divided into two groups; the first, those who had undergone angioplasty in a single vessel and the esecond group who had undergone angioplasty in two or more vessels. We found that the amputation-free time was greater in the group one compared to group two, with a statistically significant P value. Conclusion: Angioplasty of infrapopliteal vessels in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and critical lower limb ischemia reduces pain, claudication and infection in patients. There is a low rate of major amputations after therapy as a measure of salvage of the limb. The probability of survival of the limb at 573 days is 50%.on and pain, 88%
