For some reason, it is considered conservative treatment to chop someone s leg off and aggressive treatment to even do an angiogram Craig M. Walker, M.D. Medical Director Cardiovascular Institute of the South
GLOBAL WARNING 8.3% of the U.S population is diabetic 4.9% of the Population of India is Type 2 (61,300,000) 6.7% of the Population of China is Type 2 (90,000,000) 1 In 400 Children and adolescents in the USA is Diabetic and Obese
Amputations Less than 16% get an angiogram Only 36% get an ABI Most of these patients do have limb salvage options It is not conservative treatment to amputate!

Only 31% of wounds heal 85% of amputations are preceded by a foot ulcer 80% of hospital admissions for diabetics are for infected foot ulcers Half the size in 4 weeks Vanderbilt Calcium Score Calcium=CLI= Amputation Paradigm Shift Restore the flow!!!
Patient Background 83 yr old female Non-healing toe wound tissue loss, gangrenous Rest pain Smoker Left ABI 0.40 Stent in renal artery
Plaque Excision Procedure Pre Post Plaque excision using left SFA, popliteal, and TPT vessels Post SilverHawk TM procedure: Good flow through prior SFA occlusion, into popliteal and TPT SFA: Occluded 20% residual stenosis TPT: Occluded 25% residual stenosis
Time is Tissue Pre 60-days post Good distal flow to toes, resulting in healing of toe ulcer
