Endovascular treatment strategies of ischemic lesions in the diabetic foot / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

With the increasing incidence of diabetes in China, the related complications also show a trend of " spreading" , and diabetes foot (DF) is one of the most serious complications of diabetes. The arterial disease of lower limbs in patients with DF are relatively complex, and the recovery of arterial blood supply of lower limbs is the key to improve the quality of life and limb preservation rate of patients with DF. At present, endovascular therapy is the first choice for the treatment of diabetic foot ischemic lesions in China because of its minimally invasive and quick recovery. In order to treat DF in a better and more standardized way and make patients benefit more, this paper summarized the strategies of endovascular treatment for DF ischemia by combining the objectives of DF treatment and the principles of endovascular treatment.
