DR LUIS RICARDO SANCHEZ ESCALANTE MONTERREY, NUEVO LEON, MEXICO somes have been additionally considered by recent reports of revascularization procedures.15,16,18 A few examples of current angiosome-guided endovascular interventions for diabetic neuroischemic foot wounds are shown in Figures 2–9. The diabetic foot is a preferential application for topographic revascularization. Availability of the angiosome strategy for infragenicular revascularization seems to represent millimeters of skin to the entire diabetic foot or leg11,16,17,21 relies on specific nourishing vessels, although solely hinged to one specific dominant angiosome-dependent artery.9–12 Consequently, it might be emphasized that in these subjects, the more distal and specific the revascularization, the higher the probability of re-establishing an adequate blood supply in a specific amount of threatened tissue.

Angiosome-guided revascularization is an approach that improves wound healing but requires a surgeon to determine development of a proper revascularization strategy. Methods. Data was retrieved from a registry of patients scheduled for belowwhich angiosomes are ischemic.

Photographs of the foot and historic benchmark diagrams were used to assign wounds to their in quantity, morphology, and topography. This paper explores to what extent the heterogeneous presentation of DF wounds impedes respective angiosomes. Results. In 185 limbs we detected 345 wounds.

Data was retrieved from of patients scheduled for below(b) a registry angiosome due(a)to dual blood supply. Ambiguity in wound stratification into angiosomes was highest at the heel, achilles tendon, the-knee (BTK) revascularization.

In 18.4% of the DF, at least some wounds could not confidently be respective angiosomes. Results. In 185 limbs we detected 345 wounds.

Conclusion. The heterogeneous presentation in diabetic foot wounds hampers and lateral/medial side of the foot and lowest for malleolar wounds.
