[A proposed classification for diabetic arteritis based on functional and arteriographic data (author's transl)].
Three main types of arteriopathy in diabetic patients can be distinguished by comparing arteriographic and "irrigraphic" data. High forms, with non-specific irrigraphic findings, fall within the framework of typical arteriosclerotic types of arteritis. Distal femorotibial forms, with characteristics in irrigraphic tracings found only in diabetes, differ from the previous forms. Finally, there are hyperirrigation syndromes in which the functional element is dominant, and which can be considered as early forms of diabetic arteriopathy. These conclusions are based on a study of 180 cases, arteriographic and irrigraphic data being compared in 90 of these patients.
