Overview
Observe Timing to complete healing of wounds & Limb salvage in both cohorts those who are undergoing Debridement only and those who are undergoing Debridement plus PTA
Description
Secondary Aims of the study include Length of hospital stay , Necessity of further intervention(Whether a Revascularization Procedure or More Debridement sessions) , Incidence of MACE (Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events) in both groups
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients will be included in this study are those suffering from DFUs; and Borderline Ischemia (BLI) / Borderline Vacularity with (Rutherford Grade "I" Categories "2&3") when they have a borderline ankle systolic pressure
Exclusion Criteria:
- All patients with (CLI) and DFUs as they are indicated for urgent re-vascularization.
Severely infected/ gangrenous wounds requiring amputation hindering possible limb salvage.
Lesions lying within or adjacent to an aneurysm; Non diabetic cases with foot ulcers;
Arteritic lesions;(Vasculitic Patients). Patients had prior major amputation, bypass
surgery, and endarterectomy on any vessel of the ipsilateral (target) extremity
