Target Vessel Revascularization of Diabetic Foot According to Angiosomes
Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a major world-wide health problem. It affects about
12%–14% of the population. The international consensus to define chronic limb threatening ischemia
(CLTI) is that any patient with chronic ischemic rest pain, ulcers, or gangrene for more than two weeks
with proven PAD. Aim of the Work: To assess the outcome of target vessel revascularization according to
angiosome concept on the healing process of ischemic diabetic foot ulcers. Patients and Methods: This is
a prospective study conducted at Ain Shams University Hospitals and Nasser institute Hospital in Cairo
on 45 patients complaining CLTI in the form of ulcer &/or gangrene. The patients of successful
angioplasty were classified into three groups. Group (A) direct revasularization, group (B) indirect
revascularization and group (C) combined revascularization. Results: During the assessment of the
patients of our study after 6 months of continuous follow up, we found that the healing rate of the patients
who underwent direct revascularization (DR), indirect revascularization (ID) and combined
revascularization (CR) were (91.67%), (75%) and (92.86%) respectively (p=0.769). Conclusion:
Angioplasty of more than one tibial vessel including the target vessel has the best results and more
preferable. Direct revascularization of the target artery depending on angiosome model leads to better
wound healing rates than indirect revascularization.
Key words: Tibial vessel revascularization, diabetic foot, angiosomes.
