Angiographic Therapies for Diabetic Foot Syndrome

Abstract

Background. The study aimed to improve treatment outcomes in diabetic foot syndrome patients by use of invasive pressure monitoring during arterial radiological interventions.Materials and methods. A total of 36 patients with type 2 diabetes and purulent necrotic lesions of lower extremities have been treated at the surgery unit of Bashkir State Medical University Clinic during 2019—2020, with 12 persons forming the main cohort and receiving the measures complemented with the newly developed “X-ray endovascular intraoperative significance evaluation of lower limb arterial stenosis” technique (Patent RU 2737215 of 26.11.2020). The control cohort comprised 24 patients following pertinent standard treatment and recommendations in this pathology.Results and discussion. Immediate treatment outcomes were evaluated by person in the main and control cohorts. Longterm outcomes were observed at 6, 12 and 24 months since hospital discharge in 10 (83.3 %) patients of the main and 19 (79.2 %) — of the control cohort. In a 2-year run, the limb was kept in 8 (66.7 %) patients having the new revascularisation technique and in 10 (41.7 %) persons of the control cohort (p < 0.05).Conclusion. The use of endovascular radiology for limb revascularisation and intraoperative significance monitoring of lower limb arterial stenosis allow the volume determination of balloon angioplasty and statement of revascularisation completeness.
