Abstract
Diabetes mellitus affects millions of Americans, incurs significant comorbidities, and costs billions annually in health-care dollars. Small and large vessel atherosclerotic changes contribute to coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vascular disease. Untreated macrovascular occlusion may result in loss of life or limb. However, multimodal management of this sequel may be achieved. The focus of this chapter's discussion will be on the lower extremity peripheral vascular complications of diabetes including diagnosis, treatment, and new advancements in care.
