Inflammation, Lipids, and Limb Risk: New Clues from Two Cohorts #ActAgainstAmputation #PAD #VascularDisease #CLTI

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is one of the most devastating complications of diabetes—contributing to ischemic pain, functional decline, and, in severe cases, amputation. Despite its prevalence, early detection remains elusive, and clinicians continue to search for simple, reliable markers of risk. A new multicohort study led by Wang and colleagues now shines a spotlight on... Continue Reading →

Exploring New Frontiers in Peripheral Artery Disease Diagnosis: The Role of Dorsal Metatarsal Artery Indices #Diagnostics #CLTI #PAD #ActAgainstAmputation

Screenshot The realm of vascular health is continuously evolving, seeking more precise and reliable methods to diagnose and manage peripheral artery disease (PAD). A recent study by Ciuti et al., published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, delves into the use of the resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of the dorsal metatarsal artery...

Modified Tibial Cortex Transverse Transport (TTT): Yet more reported data for limb preservation? #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant global health concern, affecting a substantial number of individuals with diabetes. These ulcers often present challenges in achieving healing, leading to prolonged non-healing and, in some cases, necessitating amputation. However, a recent study by Liu et al. (2024) offers a promising new approach to managing DFUs[1]. The Study... Continue Reading →

Early Hemodynamic Improvement after Tibial Transport in the Diabetic Foot

The study by Liao et al. (2023) suggests significant differences in early hemodynamics after tibial transverse transport in patients with diabetic foot, focusing on those with nonarterial stenosis versus arterial stenosis. High-frequency color Doppler ultrasonography and laser Doppler flowmetry were used to assess changes. The study contributes to our understanding of diabetic foot treatment by... Continue Reading →

Intersocietal PAD guidelines on the Diabetic Foot #ActAgainstAmputation #IWGDF

Here is the link to the guidelines for peripheral artery disease in people with diabetes. Diabetes-related foot complications have become a major cause of morbidity and are implicated in most major and minor amputations globally. Approximately 50% of people with diabetes and a foot ulcer have peripheral artery disease (PAD) and the presence of PAD... Continue Reading →

Journal of the American Medical Association: Diabetic Foot Ulcers @JAMA_Current #ActAgainstAmputation #DiabeticFoot

From JAMA Armstrong, Tan, Boulton, and Bus, JAMA. 2023;330(1):62-75. doi:10.1001/jama.2023.10578 In diabetic foot disease, tissue loss,ischemia, and infection frequentlyoverlap. However, one is frequentlymore dominant than the other atdifferent times in the life cycle of anacute-on-chronic event. Here, theamount of tissue loss, ischemia, andfoot infection can be ordinally gradedto help predict outcome and assist incommunicating a plan... Continue Reading →
