BACKGROUND: @entity454 [ @entity454 ] and @entity6 have a negative effect on outcome of arterial reconstructions, because they are associated with a vulnerability to infection, an infrageniculate @entity432 and an increased perioperative risk. The combination of both in critically @entity63 @entity1 is traditionally considered a great threat to their limb or life. The risk/benefit ratio of revascularization in this clinical setting is marginal and therefore the decision making is controversial. This study was undertaken to determine the results of arterial reconstruction in @entity1 with @entity454 and @entity6 . @entity1 AND METHODS: The outcome of 97 @entity1 undergoing 121 arterial reconstructions due to lower limb threatening @entity63 were reviewed. Primary and secondary patency rates as well as survival and limb salvage were estimated. RESULTS: Thirty-day operative mortality rate was 10.3%. At one month, one year and 2 year follow-up, the survival rate was 89.7%, 77.6% and 44.2% respectively. Limb salvage at 6 months was 85.6%, at 12 months 75.3% and at 2 years 56.3%. The primary and secondary patency was 92.4% and 93.2% at 6 months and 71.7% and 72.7% at 12 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Diabeticpatients with @entity454 attained an acceptable graft patency and limb salvage but they sustained higher perioperative mortality and morbidity and reduced survival.
