Assessment of the clinical & angiographic outcomes

Assessment of the clinical outcome

Aggravation No change Improvement

Claudication Development of new ischemic foot lesion after WBMSC therapy No statistically significant difference of the pain-free walking distance Return to normal activity Statistically significant change of the pain-free walking distance
Critical ischemia Ischemic rest pain Development of new ischemic foot lesion after WBMSC therapy Any amputation No change of ischemic rest pain Relief of ischemic rest pain
Tissue loss Recurrence of a healed ischemic lesion Development of new ischemic foot lesion after complete wound healing Any amputation No change of ischemic foot wound Complete wound healing with or without planned debridement or amputation

Assessment of the angiographic outcome

-2 -1 0 +1 +2

Recanalization of run-off vessels ≥50% progression of occlusion in the previous lengths of the run-off vessels <50% progression of occlusion in the previous length of the run-off vessels No change of the overall extent of the run-off vessels <50% segmental recanalization in the previous lengths of the run-off vessels ≥50% segmental recanalization in the previous lengths of the run-off vessels
Angiogenesis Any loss of firstorder collateral vessels Any loss of second-order collateral vessels No change of the overall extent of collateral vessels Development of more than second-order collateral vessels Development of first-order
Arteriogenesis Decreased diameter and length of the pre-existing collateral vessels Decreased diameter or length of the pre-existing collateral vessels No change of the overall extent of collateral vessels Increased diameter or length of the pre-existing collateral vessels Increased diameter and length of the pre-existing collateral vessels
