Fig 1 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.
