Endovascular infrapopliteal interventions guided by the angiosome concept in diabetic patients with diffuse peripheral artery disease

Background: Infrapopliteal endovascular interventions (ET) which follow the angiosome concept for wound healing will have an improved clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to assess the primary success rate of ET in respect of the angiosome concept in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Patients and methods: We retrospectively analysed a prospectively maintained database that included 63 infrapopliteal ET performed in 63 diabetic patients (pts.;20 female, 43 male, mean age 73 ± 10 years) between January 2012 and October 2015. The study included only patients with CLI. All ET were performed…
