As the only professional medical society focused on CLI, we contribute to the scientific study, literature, education, and advocacy on the treatment of CLI.

WHY IS CLI A PROBLEM?

The CLI Global Society recognizes the following contributing factors to the challenge of CLI:

Lack of consensus on the definition of CLI
Lack of awareness within the healthcare community and general public
CLI morbidity and mortality are akin to the most aggressive cancer diagnoses
Limited evidence-based research
Lack of consensus on best methods to prevent, diagnosis, treat, and rehabilitate
Limited number of dedicated CLI specialists
No diagnosis code for CLI
Costs for the treatment of CLI are among the greatest health care expenditure challenges today¹
Amputation often remains a first line treatment and results in major disability, loss of work productivity, and burdens to family and colleagues

HOW CAN WE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM?

Creating and facilitating a new definition of CLI
Amplifying public and health professional awareness of CLI
Creating a public and professional effort to prevent CLI
Increasing clinical cooperation and information sharing in the management of CLI
Improving the CLI standard of care for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation
Reducing time from symptom onset to provision of definitive care for CLI
Reducing variability in delivery of care that promotes preventable amputations
Identifying strategies to correct disparities in access and treatment to quality CLI care
Advocating for team-based programs that simultaneously address awareness, management, and treatment of CLI
Advocating for coverage and reimbursement for CLI therapy
Partnering with clinicians, hospitals, patients, and industry to have immediate impact
Preventing amputations and death due to critical limb ischemia
