    THE MEDICAL PROBLEM

    PAD = peripheral arterial (obstructive) diseasechronic atherosclerotic process

    narrowing of peripheral arterial vasculaturepredominantly affecting lower limb

    Prevalence ~10%, ~30% in patients 50 years

    critical limb ischemia (CLI) = most severe manifestationresults in limb loss, multimorbidity, death

    Risk factors : smoking, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipoproteinemia

    definition is typically clinical/observational as patients presenting with true ischemic rest pain,non-healing ischemic ulcers, or gangrene

    PAD = independent predictor of limb loss

    Symptoms

    I Asymptomatic

    IIa Pain free walking distance > 200m

    IIb Pain free walking distance < 200m

    III Ischemic rest pain

    THE MEDICAL PROBLEM PAD CLASSES

  • seit 1984

    2nd IVT-Symposium in Frankfurt, Germany (30.05.2015)

    DIABETES MELLITUS + PAD

    - 4fold increase of manifestations- ealier stage- progress is more rapid

    Outcome after surgical revascularisation is worse,mainly due to delayed diagnosis

    10-16fold increase to undergo major amputation50% of patients die within 2 years after MA

    >85% of major amputations in patients with diabetes are preceded by foot ulceration (PAD and DNP (and mixed types) as equivalent causes)

    Antibiotics (preoperative short-term therapy and, after, long-acting penicillin for 1-2 years). LMWH, for the first 3 days post-op and then, aspirin 100-150 mg. for 6-12 months. Functional multilayer bandages are applied for the first week and, afterwards, proper elastic supports (stockings, sleeves, etc.) for at least 3-5 years, allowing the patient to progressively give up the use of these compression garments after the first 1-3 years, depending on lymphedema stage

  • Adjuvant Treatments

    Mechanical intensive lymphatic drainagefor the two weeks preceding the week of hospitalization for the surgical operation. Post-operatively: manual lymph drainagefor the first 3-5 days and, then, low mechanical lymph drainage for another week.The follow-up consists of periodic clinical assessments (volumetry, measurements of circumferences, etc.) and instrumental evaluations (by lymphoscintigraphy).
