Diabetes, dysglycemia, and vascular surgery
Abnormalities in glucose metabolism are common in patients with arterial disease. Chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance contribute to the complexity of vascular disorders. They also overlap with the effects of perioperative hyperglycemia on adverse perioperative outcomes. We provide an overview of the pathophysiologic consequences of dysglycemia and the evidence behind glycemic control in patients undergoing vascular surgery.
