Purpose: To analyze the relationship between the new TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC II) infrapopliteal classification and limb outcomes among patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Methods: A single-center retrospective study was performed on 166 consecutive CLI patients (mean age 71 years; 113 men) undergoing endovascular treatment of 244 infrapopliteal lesions from 2006 to 2013. Patient, procedural, angiographic, and limb outcomes were compared for the new TASC A/B vs C/D classification for infrapopliteal lesions. Binary restenosis was determined by a peak systolic velocity ratio >2.0 by duplex ultrasound on follow-up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: Seventy-two (43.4%) patients had TASC A/B lesions, while 94 (56.6%) had TASC C/D patterns of infrapopliteal disease. Baseline demographics and tissue loss (93% vs 94%, p=0.59) were similar between the groups. TASC A/B lesions were shorter (53 +/- 35 vs 170 +/- 83 mm, p
