Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a ubiquitous disease which affects millions of Americans, incurs significant comorbidities and costs billions annually in healthcare dollars. The morbidities associated with diabetes mellitus include a substantial increase in both small vessel (microvascular) and large vessel (macrovascular) disease. The macrovascular effects of diabetes, causing serious morbidity and mortality, are found in the coronary, cerebral (extra and intracranial) and peripheral vascular circulation. The focus of this chapter’s discussion will be on the lower extremity peripheral vascular complications of diabetes.
