Abstract: The worldwide number of people suffering from diabetes is anticipated to exceed 350 million by 2030 and the risk for developing critical limb ischemia (CLI) has been documented to reach considerably higher levels in these patients. Contemporary data show that 40% to 50% among diabetics may experience an amputation while 20% to 25% are prone to die, during the first year of CLI diagnosis. Despite remarkable advances in peripheral arterial revascularization in the last two decades, major amputation rate seems scarcely affected in this group of patients by simultaneous increase of CLI presentations each year.
