Variable:BloodSupply
Description:

‘Blood Supply’ variable represents the degree of blood supply to the lower extremity. If the vascular repair fails, the extremity will not have adequate blood supply; so there is a deterministic relation between the negative repair failure and inadequate blood supply. In other words, a repair failure leads to inadequate blood supply, and inadequate blood supply leads to a non-viable extremity in our model.
