Abstract:
The WIfI classification, a new classification system for the threatened lower limb, has been proposed by the Society for Vascular Surgery and it is based on the three main factors that have an impact on limb amputation risk: Wound (W), ischemia (I) and foot infection (fI). This classification can predict the risk of amputation at 1 year and the need for limb revascularization. It was endorsed by the global vascular guidelines (GVG), which proposed a new global anatomic staging system (GLASS). This scheme has three final stages of complexity for intervention, that involves defining a preferred target artery path (TAP) and then estimating limb-based patency (LBP). Together, WIfI and GLASS help to define the preferred revascularization strategy, according to “PLAN” concept, what is a three-step integrated approach, based on patient risk estimation, limb staging and anatomic pattern of disease.

Biography:
Lorena de Oliveira Cerqueira is an honors graduate medical doctor from Vila Velha University, School of Medicine, where she also started her studies about WIfI classification for lower extremity threatened limb. She is currently a second-year general surgery resident at Federal University of Espirito Santo and member of the Brazilian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (SBACV). She has some publications about WIfI classification, including an literature review, publicated in the Brazilian Vascular Journal and some book chapters, in addition to several classes and exhibitions on this subject. At the moment, she is working in two new book chapters about lower extremity threatened limb adequated classification.
