Rearfoot Transcutaneous Oximetry is a Useful Tool to Highlight Ischemia of the Heel

Purpose To demonstrate the usefulness of rearfoot transcutaneous oximetry to assess the peripheral arterial disease in diabetic patients with heel ulcer. Methods From our database of 550 critical limb ischemia diabetic patients followed after a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, we have selected...

Zusammenfassung:	Purpose To demonstrate the usefulness of rearfoot transcutaneous oximetry to assess the peripheral arterial disease in diabetic patients with heel ulcer. Methods From our database of 550 critical limb ischemia diabetic patients followed after a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, we have selected patients with below the knee arterial disease. Patients were grouped according to the dorsal transcutaneous oximetry value (Group A
