Time Out Before Amputation (TOBA): A Multidisciplinary Approach
Mary L. Yost, MBA, and vascular surgeon Dr. Jayer Chung make the case for a time out before amputation: a multidisciplinary review that ensures every limb-salvage option has been considered. The session covers the human and economic cost of PAD and how coordinated care changes outcomes.
