OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this article are to describe the therapeutic
options available and develop an appropriate clinical approach suitable to the
individual needs of the patient with arterial insufficiency, based on the wound
bed preparation paradigm. This information will also assist in the integration of
decision making regarding appropriate clinical intervention in an
interprofessional team approach, according to the International
Inter-professional Wound Caring Model 2012, with inclusion of patient-centered
concerns within the patient's circle of care.
