Peripheral artery disease, lower limb revascularization, and amputation in diabetes patients with and without coronary artery disease: a cohort study from the Western Denmark Heart Registry.

Despite absence of obstructive CAD, patients with diabetes remained at higher risk of PAD, lower limb revascularization, and lower limb amputation. Diabetes was more strongly associated with amputation than CAD, but CAD exacerbated the risks of PAD, revascularization, and amputation in patients with diabetes.
