Abstract

The contemporary health care system is one of the most complicated and remarkable accomplishments of humanity. It integrates and builds upon layers of knowledge, technology, and dedication to the service of humanity. There are four fundamental components of this complex system that collaborate and contribute to the providing quality care to patients. These components are: emergency care, pharmacy, nursing, and laboratory medicine. Each of these components is fundamental to the system and the provision of health care and the diagnosis, treatment and management of health care needs. These components form an interconnected system that supports patients from the moment of emergency health care needs all the way to recovery and beyond.

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.
