INTRODUCTION

Diabetic Ischemic Ulcer

STUDY AIM

■ Evaluate MRA results■ Relation of MRA to Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)

as a primary diagnostic test of choice inp y g

detecting :

peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

CLINICAL STUDY&RESULTES

Patients

Cross Sectional Study

PatientsN:��

clinicallysymptoms of

PAD

■ ABI: ��% out of range

■ MRA : ��.�% abnormal

CONCLUSION

■ In severe ischemia, the results of ABI&MRA are inthe same

■ In severe ischemia ABI is trustworthy, but in otherdegrees of ischemia MRA should be used

■More patients to determine which kind ofabnormality associate with outcome includinghealing or amputation.
