Our data suggest that in relation to non-peripheral artery disease controls, chronic limb threatening ischemia patients are more hypercoagulable. However, peripheral artery disease patients with claudication appear to have similar levels of circulating procoagulant markers as non-peripheral artery disease patients. This may explain the increased risk of thrombotic events observed in chronic limb threatening ischemia patients.
