Diabetic gangrene treatment requires a complex approach. Angiography and procedures like balloon angioplasty are crucial for limb salvage, potentially avoiding major amputations.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diabetology
  • Radiology

Context:

  • Diabetic gangrene of the lower extremity presents a significant clinical challenge.
  • A cohort of 60 patients with diabetic lower extremity gangrene was analyzed.
  • Treatment strategies varied, including primary amputation, revascularization, and sympathectomy.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different treatment modalities for diabetic lower extremity gangrene.
  • To emphasize the importance of a comprehensive treatment strategy.
  • To highlight the role of angiography and interventional procedures in limb salvage.

Summary:

  • Out of 60 patients, 24 underwent primary amputation (14 acral, 10 thigh due to sepsis).
  • Interventional procedures included balloon angioplasty (14 patients), bypass surgery (6 patients), and lumbar sympathectomy (16 patients).

  • Major amputation was required post-revascularization in 9 cases, underscoring the complexity of treatment.

    • Impact:

    • Complex, multidisciplinary management is essential for diabetic foot complications.
    • Pre-operative angiography is vital for planning amputation and revascularization strategies.
    • Balloon angioplasty and favorable arteriography findings in main arteries can facilitate less invasive acral amputations, improving limb salvage rates.
