Formed Atherosclerotic Valve as One of the Reasons for Unsuccessful Balloon Angiodilation of Leg Vessels in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Complicated by Occlusion of Leg Arteries
Keywords:
diabetic foot, formed atherosclerotic valve, endovascular treatmentAbstract
The analysis involved 54 patients with diabetic foot syndrome and occlusion of the arteries of the lower leg, who underwent endovascular balloon angiodilation. It was found that in 4 patients the cause of unsuccessful angiodilation was the presence of a formed atherosclerotic valve. The article discusses this problem and suggests methods for solving it.
