BACKGROUND & METHODBACKGROUND & METHOD
Though clinical outcomes following percutaneous revascularization of superficial femoral artery (SFA) varies between diabetics (DM) and non-diabetics, angiographic differences of their SFA disease has never been systemically analyzed
We conducted blinded angiographic analysis of peripheral angiograms in 117 consecutive patients (79 DM and 38 non-DM) between January 2009 - January 2011, presenting to Veterans Affairs Haelth Care System (Veterans Integrated Service Network or VISN 17) with Rutherford category 3 claudication
RESULTS: Lesion Characteristics & RESULTS: Lesion Characteristics & Revascularization in Diabetics & Non-Revascularization in Diabetics & Non-DiabeticsDiabetics
RESULTS: Procedural RESULTS: Procedural Complications & Outcomes in Complications & Outcomes in Diabetics & Non-DiabeticsDiabetics & Non-Diabetics
CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate the greater
severity of SFA disease in patients with diabetes mellitus, increased need for stenting & lower 12 month patency
Our findings also indicate to the need for dedicated strategies for improving outcomes in diabetics with peripheral arterial disease undergoing endovascular revascularization procedures for life-style limiting claudication
