Angioplasty is an important tool in the armamentarium of the clinician dealing with atherosclerotic disease. Diabetic patients with occlusive disease pose special problems. Four hundred and twenty-five lesions were dilated in 370 patients. No difference in site was found when comparing the diabetic and non-diabetic groups (p less than 0.001), but a significant difference in indication for treatment was observed. Cumulative patency at 5 years for iliac lesions in non-diabetic patients was 61.2% and in diabetic patients was 35.6% (p less than 0.05), for superficial femoral and popliteal artery lesions in non-diabetic patients it was 49.7% and in diabetic patients it was 38.8% (NS). The need for subsequent surgical intervention (p less than 0.01) and risk of death (p less than 0.001) are both significantly greater in the diabetic group. This study shows that angioplasty is a technique that can be used with success in diabetic patients and if the indications for interventions are compared, diabetic patients do not worse.
