Therapeutic Alternatives in Diabetic Foot Patients without an Option for Revascularization: A Narrative Review.
Gerhard RuemenapfStephan MorbachMartin SiglPublished in: Journal of clinical medicine (2022)
Alternative treatments said to decrease the amputation rate by improving arterial perfusion and wound healing in case revascularization is impossible and lack both efficiency and evidence. Conservative therapy can yield acceptable results, but early amputation may be a beneficial alternative. Patients unfit for revascularization or major amputation should receive palliative wound care and pain therapy. New treatment strategies for no-option CLTI are urgently needed.
