Background: Current experimental models of critical limb ischemia are based on acute ischemia rather than on chronic ischemia. Human peripheral vascular disease is largely a result of chromic ischemia. We hypothesized that a model of chronic hindlimb ischemia would develop more collateral arteries, more blood flow, and less necrosis and inflammation than would acute hindlimb ischemia. We therefore developed a rat model of chronic hindlimb ischemia and compared the effects of chronic ischemia with those of acute ischemia on hindlimb skeletal muscle.Methods. Acute or chronic ischemia was induced in 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Chronic ischemia caused blood flow, as measured by laser Doppler scanning and confirmed by muscle oxygen tension measurements, to gradually decrease over I to 2 weeks after operation.Results: Histologic analysis showed chronic hindlimb ischemia better preserved muscle mass and architecture and stimulated capillary angiogenesis, while lacking the muscle necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltrate seen after acute ischemia. Surprisingly, the chronic ischemia group recovered dermal blood flow more slowly and less completely than did the acute ischemia group, as measured by laser Doppler (0.66 +/- 0.02 vs 0.76 +/- 0.04, P
