Overview
Ischemic or dry gangrene is commonly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The most advanced stage of PAD is critical limb ischemia/ chronic limb-threatening ischemia, and it has an incidence rate of 1% in the United States. Gas gangrene is a rare condition, with an annual record of 1000 cases in the United States, 50% of which are due to traumatic injuries, 30% due to post-operative complications, and the remaining part is attributed to infections.

Epidemiology and Demographics of Gangrene
- Ischemic or dry gangrene is commonly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
- The most advanced stage of PAD is critical limb ischemia/ chronic limb-threatening ischemia, and it has an incidence rate of 1% in the United States. [1]
- Periperhal artery disease of the lower extremities has a prevalence rate of 200 million, with up to 10% of them have critical limb ischemia/ chronic limb-threatening ischemia. [1]
- If an asymptomatic PAD is left untreated, progression to critical limb ischemia/ chronic limb-threatening ischemia in five years. [1]
- Gas gangrene is a rare condition, with an annual record of 1000 cases in the United States, 50% of which are due to traumatic injuries, 30% due to post-operative complications, and the remaining part is attributed to infections. [1]
