Study of clinical profile of peripheral vascular disease in department of surgery

“…of age suffer from symptoms of intermittent claudication, this figure rises to 5% in those aged 50 to 70 yrs. and to 10% in those older than 70 yrs [4] . Vascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes.…”

“…Despite the advance in technical issues of revascularization, there remains much that can be done regarding education, risk factor modification and non-operative therapy for these patients [4] . Major amputation is eventually required in more than a third of patients once limb threatening symptoms and signs occur [9] .…”
