ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) frequently co-exist and often with less favorable outcome after revascularization. The objective was to evaluate the effects of revascularization on muscle function, perfusion and mitochondrial respiration in patients with combined CLTI and T2D. METHODS: A prospective translational observational study. Two groups of patients facing unilateral peripheral revascularization was included: Patients suffering from combined disease with CLTI+T2D (N.=14) and patients suffering from CLTI (N.=15). During pedal exercise testing, calf muscle perfusion was monitored with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and leg arterial volume flow in the common femoral artery with duplex ultrasound. Calf muscle biopsy and subsequent assessment of mitochondrial respiratory capacity on isolated muscle fibers was performed. Tests was performed before and six weeks after revascularization. RESULTS: After revascularization, patients CLTI+T2D improved in muscle force from 8.48 kg (CI: 7.49-9.46) to 13.11 kg (CI: 11.58-14.63), (P<0.001). Conversely, muscle force in patients suffering from non-diabetic CLTI decreased from 10.03 kg (CI: 9.1-10.96) to 9.73 kg (CI: 8.77-10.69), (P=0.042). Muscle oxygenation during exercise improved more in the CLTI+T2D group (6.36 µM/kg/s [CI: 5.71-7.01] compared to 2.11 µM/kg/s [CI:1.38-2.83] in the CLTI group; P=0.002). No improvement or difference between groups regarding mitochondrial function was detected. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with combined CLTI+T2D, had an unsuspected better effect of revascularization compared to patients with non-diabetic CLTI, in terms of increased muscle force and improved muscle perfusion. Further studies are needed to elucidate the apparent interaction of the CLTI and T2D syndromes.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Measurement of systolic ankle and to some extent toe pressure in patients suffering from combined type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) face several obstacles due to complex changes in the vascular bed. The aim of this review was to address the current literature on blood flow during exercise in patients with PAD and T2DM and assess the feasibility of these methods to diagnose and grade arterial insufficiency. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A systematic review of the PubMed and EMBASE databases, supplemented by hand searching was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Clinical studies evaluating methods to investigate peripheral blood flow in patients with PAD and T2DM during exercise were included. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: In total nine eligible studies consisting of 1105 non-diabetic PAD patients, 336 diabetic PAD patients, 161 diabetic patients without PAD and 69 healthy controls were included in the review. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was described in three studies, transcutaneous oxygen pressure measurement (TcpO2) in two and the following methods described in single studies: thermodilution, contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), scintigraphy and TcpO2 in combination with ultrasound. These studies shows that patients with PAD and T2DM compared with patients with only PAD suffers different atherosclerotic lesions characterised by increased arterial stiffness and microcirculation abnormalities, not well differentiated by pressure measurement alone. Investigating patients with PAD and T2DM during exercise reveals that NIRS, TcpO2, CEUS, and scintigraphy have distinct advantages over ankle and toe-pressure. CONCLUSIONS: Using methods like NIRS, TcpO2, CEUS and scintigraphy, peripheral blood flow during exercise can be measured at a detailed level and potentially improve future severity grading in patients with combined T2DM and PAD.
