The diabetic foot disease: Non-conventional diagnostic methods for distal ischemia and secondary prevention
Foot ulcers in diabetes form the complication most feared, leading to a major amputation in 15%. About 50% show signs of peripheral arterial insufficiency.
Although according to several reports, amputation can be prevented in a multidisciplinary setting in 50-85%, we are still confronted with an insufficient outcome regarding the amputation rate. One of the reasons is the high recurrence rate within one year, due to insufficient secondary prevention. Also, limited non-invasive vascular diagnostic methods to predict wound healing play an important role.
This symposium highlights several non-conventional diagnostic methods for early signs of recurrent ulcers and for quantification of the blood flow in the foot.
