Abstract

This study develops a systematic review of 29 studies published between 2018 and 2025, with the aim of analyzing the impact of financial decisions on microenterprises. Articles with a quantitative, qualitative and mixed approach were compiled, mainly from Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico, covering various economic sectors. The results show that variables such as financial planning, cost control, access to credit and the use of financial indicators have a direct and significant influence on business decision-making. Among the most frequent impacts are the improvement in profitability, increased liquidity, strengthening competitiveness and increasing business sustainability. Likewise, positive effects on productivity, investment and business satisfaction were identified. Risks such as over-indebtedness are also recognized, when there is no adequate management. Evidence suggests that data-driven financial decision-making and technical capabilities contribute to improving the overall performance of microenterprises. It is recommended to promote financial education, the use of technology and the development of specific support policies to strengthen financial management in this type of organization.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
