Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was performed for nonhealing ulcers, severe claudication, or rest pain in 10 patients with diabetes mellitus. Twenty-two atherosclerotic lesions were dilated in 15 extremities, including 16 iliofemoral arteries and 6 superficial femoral arteries. The procedure was technically successful in all patients and 8 of 9 (89%) with clinical follow-up showed improvement clinically after the procedure. Diabetes is not a contraindication to PTA; rather this modality can be used effectively to control and treat peripheral vascular insufficiency in diabetic patients.
对10例糖尿病患者的不愈合溃疡、严重间歇性跛行或静息痛进行了经皮腔内血管成形术（PTA）。在15个肢体中扩张了22处动脉粥样硬化病变，包括16条髂股动脉和6条股浅动脉。该手术在所有患者中技术上均获成功，9例接受临床随访的患者中有8例（89%）术后临床症状改善。糖尿病并非PTA的禁忌证；相反，这种治疗方式可有效用于控制和治疗糖尿病患者的周围血管功能不全。
