Background: Diabetic foot is the foot tissue damage, ulceration, secondary segmental necrosis in diabetic patients. The prevalence of diabetes is predominantly due to long-term high blood sugar, high blood lipids in the state, the systemic arterial prone to atherosclerosis, lower limb arteries are more prone to endometrial damage, and then there is stenosis or occlusion, distal extremity ischemia, Leading to diabetic foot ulcers. Objective: To assess the value of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the surgical treatment of diabetic foot. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 83 cases of diabetic foot patients, 95 limbs, 95 wounds were conscripted from September 2011 to September 2014 in our hospital. Rendering to whether the PTA treatment is not accepted PTA treatment of the conventional treatment group 43 cases (wound 51) and PTA treatment of PTA group 40 cases (44). The granulation growth rate of the wound was intended at 3, 6, 9, and 12 days after debridement. The spell of wound preparation was logged before operation. According to the Wagner classification, the survival rate of the skin graft and the healing of the suture in the 2 groups were statistically analyzed. Statistics of two groups of patients were followed up for six months, the monthly review of ABI, and ulcer recurrence. Data were processed with χ² test and t test. Results: The good rate of granulation growth of the wound in the conventional treatment group was slower than that of the control group. The good granulation growth rate of the wound was less than 20% on the 12th day after treatment. The granulation growth rate of the wound in the PTA group increased visibly from the 9th day, all grow well. On the 9th and 12th day of treatment, the granulation growth rate of the wound in PTA group was ominously advanced than that in the conventional treatment group (P <0.01). The time of wound preparation was (24 ± 10) days in the conventional treatment group, which was significantly higher than that in the PTA group (15 ± 3) days, t = 5.709, P <0.01. The Wagner 2, 3, 4 grade wounds were suggestively greater in the PTA group than in the conventional treatment group (χ2 = 6.741 ~ 24.498, P <0.01). ABI was significantly higher in the PTA group than in the conventional treatment group (t = 5.411 ~ 9.583, P <0.01). There was no recurrence of ulcer in the 4 months before the follow-up. There were 1 and 2 cases of ulcer recurrence in the 5 and 6 months follow-up. There was no recurrence in the PTA group after 6 months follow-up. Conclusion: PTA is effective in the surgical treatment of diabetic foot patients, and has assured clinical application value.
