title: Advances in the understanding of diabetic vascular disease.
abstract: In summary, the articles in this Review in Depth cover some of the most important aspects in the diabetic vascular disease. The topics included microvascular disease, macrovascular disease, coronary artery disease, diminished fibrinolysis, percutaneous transluminal coronary recanalization and PTCA. The most common manifestations of diabetic vasculopathy are emphasized. Despite an enormous database, the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the diabetic vascular disease remain poorly understood and continue to be the subject of fascinating inquiry.
