Excerpt

The role of IR in treatment of diabetic foot disease and Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) has been growing very rapidly. It is now widely recognized that endovascular treatment can play a crucial role in prevention of amputation in diabetic patients. It is important that this role is also recognized by those who are the primary caretakers of patients with diabetes. Internationally, the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) plays an important role in establishing the evidence for endovascular treatment. The IWGDF, which was founded in 1996, is a non-profit organization with independent funding. The aim of the IWGDF is to create awareness of the disease and to improve the management and prevention of the diabetic foot. One of the main tasks of the IWGDF is to create evidence-based guidelines on the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of peripheral artery disease in patients with foot ulcers [1]. These guidelines are updated every 4 years. In 2015, there was a new update on PAD (www.​iwgdf.​org). …
