BRAVO YEPEZ, Cristian Vinicio; SAVIGNE GUTIERREZ, William Orlando e FIGUEROA, Alfredo Aldama. Effectiveness of arterial surgery in diabetic patients over a period of five years. Rev Cubana Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.1 ISSN 1682-0037.
Introduction:
Diabetic macroangiopathy is a serious problem for patients who suffer it; and revascularization surgery is an alternative to its treatment.
Objective:
To show the effectiveness of arterial surgeries performed in diabetic patients over a period of five years.
Methods:
Descriptive, retrospective study in 71 clinical records of patients with diabetic macroangiopathy who received arterial surgery at the National Institute of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (January / 2011- December / 2015). The variables analyzed were: age, gender, skin color, survival of the limb, state of permeability of the grafts and frequency of deaths, which as a whole will measure the effectiveness of the surgery.
Results:
There was a linear increase in revascularization surgeries. The mean age was 64.5 ± 9.7 years, with 67. 6% of people over 60 years old, and more than 60 % were men. 52.9 % had white skin, 80.3 % had grade 4 according to Fontaine and 66.2 % had severe arterial occlusion. In more than 90 %, derivative surgery or endarterectomy was performed; 87.3 % had affectations in the infrainguinal sector and in 64.8 % the limb survived. There were no perioperative deaths or deaths at six months. 63 % of the surgeries were permeable at six months.
Conclusions:
Arterial surgeries were effective because the majority of patients maintained the affected limb and there were no perioperative deaths neither at the six months evaluation; in addition, most of the grafts were permeable in that time.
