OBJECTIVE:: METHODS:: RESULTS:: A total of 154 limbs were treated in 147 patients in the ER group, compared with 326 limbs in 296 patients in the OR group. The mean follow-up was 14 ± 18.5 months. The majority of patients presented with Rutherford II ischemia (83% for OR, 90% for ER). In Rutherford II patients, technical success was achieved in 90.7% of the OR group vs 79.9% of the ER group (P = .002), with amputation rates of 10.0% vs 7.2% (P = .35) at 30 days and 16.3% vs 13.0% (P = .37) at 1 year, respectively. In Rutherford II patients with failed bypass graft, technical success rate was 95.0% (OR) vs 75.0% (ER) (P = .001), whereas the amputation rate was 6.3% vs 15.38% (P = .13) at 30 days and 24.1% vs 23.1% (P = .90) at 1 year, respectively. The overall 30-day mortality rate was 13.2% (OR) and 5.4% (ER) (P = .012). Overall amputation rates were 13.5% (OR) vs 6.5% (ER) at 30 days (P = .023) and 19.6% (OR) vs 13.0% (ER) at 1 year (P = .074). The primary patency rate was 57% (OR) and 51% (ER) at 1 year (P = .74). Predictors of limb loss by life-table analysis included coronary artery disease (hazard ratio [HR], 2.0; P = .007) and Rutherford category III (HR, 19.0; P < .001). Predictors of death by life-table analysis included age (HR, 1.03; P < .001), end-stage renal disease (HR, 7.28; P < .001), cancer (HR, 1.65; P = .005), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HR, 1.61; P = .005).
