Abstract

Today, within the medical field, we have the ability to integrate the work of many different industries. Healthcare systems have evolved to be more adaptable and responsive to challenges in the delivery and monitoring of medical services due to the incorporation of the disciplines of public health, epidemiology, nursing, and biomedical engineering. This research focuses on four of these disciplines and their relationships to one another and illustrates how their combined strengths provide the groundwork for the design of dual, boundaries, and sufficient systems within the delivery of healthcare.

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.
