View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Diabetes and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) disproportionately affect our nation's Veterans. Diabetic patients have limited collateralization and regenerative capacity in their tissues. Diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease have severe ischemic complications and are at grave risk of major amputation. Reversing tissue ischemia by surgical revascularization prevents amputations, but many patients with diabetes and peripheral arterial disease are not fully treatable by surgical reva... |
