ABSTRACT
Amputation should be considered for the patients with limb necrosis or infection due to major vessel obstruction combined with diabetes. Patients with peripheral artery occlusive disease combined with diabetes have a higher risk of amputation and a higher possibility of reoperation than those patients without diabetes because of complications that include hematoma, infection and necrosis of the stump. We report here on 2 cases for which balloon angioplasty was used to promote wound healing on the stump site during amputation, and the patients had peripheral artery occlusive disease with a diabetic foot. The wounds healed early without complication in both cases.
