[Limitations and results of revascularization of the lower extremities of diabetics].
Both the possibility and prognosis of procedures for revascularization of lower limbs are still the subject of discussion. In 1976, Tingaud et al. emphasized the deceptive nature of femorotibial bypass operations, whereas more recently, the inverse position was taken by Logerfo who considered that therapy should be identical for diabetic and non-diabetic arterial diseases. As a function of experience gained in the Hospital Saint-Joseph with vascular surgery in diabetics, results of revascularization in diabetics were compared with those in non-diabetic patients (the possible influence of the type of diabetes-particularly whether insulin-dependent or not- could not be assessed because of the variable use of insulin apart from precise cases).
