Complete ulcer healing was achieved in 95 limbs (74%). The median ulcer healing time was 90 days. In multivariate analysis, no cilostazol use significantly inhibited ulcer healing ( p\u2009=\u20090.0114). A white blood cell count &gt;10,000 ( p\u2009=\u20090.0185), a major defect after debridement ( p\u2009=\u20090.0215), and endovascular therapy ( p\u2009=\u20090.0308) were significant poor prognostic factors for ulcer healing.
