Symmetrical peripheral gangrene has a poor prognosis. Mortality is said to approach 40%. The reason for this prognosis is usually the underlying disease. Local outcomes are also horrific. [angiologist.com]

Prognosis is highly variable, but can involve significant morbidity and mortality. Gangrene is a complication of necrosis characterized by the decay of body tissues. [us.bestpractice.bmj.com]
