PG - 55-63 LID - 10.4103/jwas.jwas_53_22 [doi] AB - AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to investigate lower extremity peripheral artery disease (LEPAD) in the foot arteries of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with and without clinical symptoms of arterial insufficiency, using triplex Doppler ultrasound. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-seven consecutive adult subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 47 age-matched and sex-matched non-diabetic controls were recruited (94 limbs each). Ankle-brachial index (ABI), fasting blood glucose assay, glycated haemoglobin assay and triplex sonography of the dorsalis pedis artery (DPA) and the distal posterior tibial artery (PTA) in both feet were performed. RESULTS: The mean age of the subjects and controls were 60.21 +/- 7.68 years and 56.81 +/- 9.05 years (P > 0.05). The mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 10.4 +/- 5.8 years. Crampy calf pain was the most common presenting symptom. Twenty-one (22.3%) of the 94 limbs of T2DM subjects had an abnormal ABI. Abnormal triplex Doppler waveform was seen in more than half of the PTA (57/94; 60.6%) and DPA (55/94; 58.5%). Forty-one (43.6%) of the 94 diabetic limbs had plaques in the PTA, while plaques were present in the DPA of 52 (55.3%) diabetic limbs. CONCLUSION: LEPAD is common in T2DM with a higher prevalence on triplex Doppler sonography compared to ABI values. CI - Copyright: (c) 2022 Journal of the West African College of Surgeons.
