Patients may deteriorate suddenly after multiple revascularisation procedures and, amputation is offered when further reperfusion is considered futile. Delayed decisions about amputation have negative consequences for patients, families and health systems, yet little attention is given to training clinicians for the sophisticated communication required. Clinicians need to engage in <jats:italic>authentic discourse<\/jats:italic> about amputation to create shared meaning and facilitate decision\u2010making.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>Qualitative study using hermeneutic Heideggerian phenomenology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twelve patients offered major amputation, and 13 family participants from three vascular units in Australia engaged in 42 semi\u2010structured interviews, representing 19 cases of chronic limb\u2010threatening ischaemia. Hermeneutic phenomenology using the Heideggerian tenet of <jats:italic>Being\u2010with<\/jats:italic> as an analytic framework, a philosophically based understanding of <jats:italic>Being\u2010with<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Discourse<\/jats:italic> related to treatment discussions and decisions was derived.
