What is Medical Therapy Following Urgent/Emergent Revascularization in Peripheral Artery Disease Patients (Canadian Acute Limb Ischemia Registry [CANALISE I]) about?
## Background Following severe limb ischemia requiring urgent/emergent revascularization, peripheral arterial disease patients suffer a high risk of recurrent atherothrombosis. ## Methods Patients discharged from Hamilton General Hospital (Hamilton, Ontario) between April 2016 and September 2017 following severe limb ischemia requiring urgent/emergent revascularization were identified via the Local Health Integration Network CorHealth database, with supplemental information from chart review. ## Results A total of 158 patients admitted for urgent/emergent revascularization were identified (148 alive at discharge). Among patients without a pre-existing indication for anticoagulation, 38.8% (__n__ = 47) were discharged on single-antiplatelet therapy, 27.3% (__n__ = 33) on dual-antiplatelet therapy, 19.8% (__n__ = 24) on anticoagulants plus antiplatelet therapy, 6.6% (__n__ = 8) on anticoagulants alone, and 2.6% (__n__ = 3) on unknown therapy. Patients who received angioplasty with stenting were more likely be discharged on dual-antiplatelet therapy (hazard ratio [HR]: 7.14; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.87-17.76; __P__ < 0.01); patients who received an embolectomy/thrombectomy were
