ObjectiveTo evaluate the value and experience of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach in the management of patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 46 consecutive patients with lower extremity ASO who were treated with MDT model at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, from May 2021 to April 2024. All subjects had critical limb ischemia (Rutherford category ≥4) with comorbidities involving two or more organ systems. Overall mortality, above-ankle amputation rate, and below-ankle amputation rate were recorded. The frequency and depth of involvement of each specialty in the MDT process were also documented. ResultsOf the 46 patients, 37 were male and 9 were female, with a age of (74.3±11.8) years. Major comorbidities included heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, and others. Overall mortality was 13.0% (6/46). The total amputation rate was 32.6% (15/46), comprising above-ankle amputation in 19.6% (9/46) and below-ankle amputation in 13.0% (6/46). Fourteen disciplines participated in the MDT; in addition to vascular surgery, the most actively involved departments were endocrinology, cardiology, and nephrology. ConclusionsThe MDT model offers unique advantages in the management of critical lower-extremity ASO. By coordinating revascularization timing, extent, and modality, prioritizing comorbid conditions, tailoring operative plans, and optimizing perioperative support, the MDT approach reduces mortality, improves limb salvage rate, and enhances both prognosis and quality of life.
