Both diabetes and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have complex interactions with COVID-19. PAD is one of the most important underlying factors in the development of diabetic foot. The COVID-19 pandemic has also caused an increase in cardiovascular complications in those with chronic diseases, including diabetics, due to both the thrombophilic course of the viral disease and the lockdown measures applied for prevention. Since both COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus predispose to thrombosis, PAD is likely to have a more severe course in diabetic patients with COVID-19. The aim of our study is to discuss the complications, prophylaxis, and treatment of PAD, which is a serious complication of diabetes, during the pandemic period.
糖尿病和外周动脉疾病（PAD）与2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）均存在复杂的相互作用。PAD是糖尿病足发生发展的最重要潜在因素之一。由于病毒性疾病的血栓形成倾向以及为预防而采取的封锁措施，COVID-19大流行还导致包括糖尿病患者在内的慢性病患者心血管并发症增加。鉴于COVID-19和糖尿病均易引发血栓形成，PAD在合并COVID-19的糖尿病患者中可能病程更为严重。我们研究的目的是探讨在大流行期间，作为糖尿病严重并发症的PAD的并发症、预防措施及治疗方法。
