    Markov subtrees for primary amputation and bypass operation. Transitional states for amputation and amputation reflect the potential for these outcomes. Circled C indicates a clone of named subtrees for amputation or angioplasty. #Remaining outcome probability calculated as a residual from the probability of all other events.

    Markov subtrees for angioplasty and nonoperative medical management. Transitional states for amputation, bypass, and angioplasty reflect the potential for these outcomes. Circled C indicates a clone of named subtrees for amputation, bypass, or angioplasty. #Remaining outcome probability calculated as a residual from the probability of all other events.
