cord-299124-g70v4crs	Lancaster, Elizabeth M.	Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on an academic vascular practice and a multi-disciplinary limb preservation program	2020-09-12		.txt	text/plain	2176	116	51	Early analysis of patient outcomes following pandemic-related practice changes suggest that patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) have been presenting with more severe foot infections and are more likely to require major limb amputation compared to 6 months prior. As our society and health care system adapt to the new changes required in the post-COVID era, it is critical that we pay special attention to the most vulnerable subsets of patients with vascular disease, particularly those with CLTI and limited access to care. Faculty, fellows, and residents provide care for vascular patients at the main UCSF campus as 10 well as two partner hospitals; the San Francisco Veteran Affairs (SFVA) Medical Center and 11 Providers prioritized in-person clinic visits for patients 9 with advanced lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) with concern for CLTI (e.g. new 10 tissue loss), given that physical examination and vascular studies are essential for evaluation.	./cache/cord-299124-g70v4crs.txt	./txt/cord-299124-g70v4crs.txt
