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

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)

Intermittent pressureIntermittent pressure
Fluctuates between phases of negative and positive (normal) pressure
Negative PressureNegative Pressure
Triggers the movement of circulating blood volume
into lower extremities and abdomen
Reduction of blood pressure in the central vein and
heartbeat volume
Compensatory mechanisms: increase in pulse rate
and peripheral vessel resistance, activation of
sympathetic response such as catecholamine
secretion
Increase in amount of oxygenized and deoxygenized
haemoglobin in muscles of lower extremities

Post-operative Treatments
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).
