Lower extremity macrovascular disease in diabetes

S Arora and FW LoGerfo
Beth Israel Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Lower extremity macrovascular disease is more common and progresses more rapidly in the presence of diabetes and has a characteristic peritibial distribution with sparing of the foot arteries. The biology of the diabetic foot is compromised, thereby making it more susceptible to injury. Hence, compromises in perfusion have a greater significance, warranting an aggressive approach to revascularization.
