Authors Joel L Ramirez, James C Iannuzzi (University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, USA) and colleagues write in an online Journal of Vascular Surgery (JVS) article that these results "provide further evidence of the negative impact that comorbid depression has on patients undergoing revascularisation for CLTI," and propose that [...]
