Objective  To summarize the research progress of gene-based therapeutic angiogenesis in lower limb ischemia, so as to provide a new method for non-invasive treatment of lower limb ischemia. Method  The literatures on studies of gene-based therapeutic angiogenesis in lower limb ischemia in recent years were read and reviewed. Results  The incidence of peripheral arterial disease had been increasing annually. How to effectively reduce the amputation rate and mortality rate of patients with critical limb ischemia was still a clinical problem that needs to be solved urgently. A large number of basic and clinical studies had shown that gene-based therapeutic angiogenesis could effectively induce angiogenesis and collateral circulation in ischemic tissue of lower limb, leading to the significant improvements of blood perfusion in ischemic areas. Additionally, the construction of many kinds of new non-viral gene delivery vectors could also improve the safety and effectiveness of gene therapy to a certain extent. Conclusion  Although promising therapeutic effect of gene-based therapeutic angiogenesis brings new ideas and strategies for the treatment of lower limb ischemia, issues still exist that have not been solved.
