Impossible to know without more information. A LOT more information.

Was the distal necrosis from pressors? Septic emboli? HITT and arterial thrombi?

So many things can go wrong, and in response to your question "could anything have been done differently" - the retrospecto-scope is unfailingly accurate. How the hell does an otherwise healthy 20 year old get pseudomonas, that's MY question.
