Revascularization Outcomes Stratified by Glycemic Control in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia

The prevalence of chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) has increased alongside rising rates of diabetes mellitus (DM). While diabetic patients with CLTI have worse outcomes compared to patients without diabetes, conflicting data exist on the relationship between the severity of DM and CLTI outcomes. Close inspection of the relationship between DM severity and outcomes in CLTI may benefit surgical decision-making and patient education.
