Abstract
Lower extremity macrovascular disease is more common and progresses more rapidly in the presence of diabetes and has a characteristic peritibial distribution with sparing of the foot arteries. The biology of the diabetic foot is compromised, thereby making it more susceptible to injury. Hence, compromises in perfusion have a greater significance, warranting an aggressive approach to revascularization.
