[Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor in vascular surgery].
The paper reports a series of 23 diabetic patients affected by occlusive arterial disease of the lower limbs treated by reconstructive vascular surgery. Revascularisation interventions were performed in 9 patients affected by claudication, with good long-term results. Fourteen patients underwent operations for limb salvage. The major amputation rate was 35%.
