Question

Which is better fontaine classification of limb ischemia or rutherford classification of ischemia?

Answer 1

Answer:

In contrast, CLI occurs over several weeks to months, but is at the extreme end of the spectrum of chronic limb ischemia (Table, Rutherford classification 4–6, Fontaine III/IV). Its importance is because of the much higher risks of limb loss and cardiovascular events than asymptomatic PAD and intermittent claudication.
