perioperative complication. Even though, there is no different in perioperative mortality between this two groups, further follow-up is still needed for long-term results.

Unfortunately, there was one patient who died before surgery this year, this patient admitted to our center during this pandemic complicated with toxic shock, bedside hemofiltration and debridement were performed but the patient still died of respiratory failure. With the conditions of PAD patients getting more serious when they come to the hospital, it is necessary to choose appropriate treatment to control perioperative complications and mortality. Prior to this, it is more important for patients to maintain the medical treatment of PAD [3] . Also, continuity of follow-up is key [4] , it is necessary to evaluate the patient's condition through telephone and phone application (obtain pictures of the patient's ischemia limb), and urge them to go to hospital in time when the condition worsens. Finally, on the basis of controlling the covid-19 pandemic, daily medical activities should be resumed as soon as possible to provide reasonable treatment for more patients with PAD.
