Abstract:
Objective To explore CTA characteristics of diabetic lower extremities arterial disease (LEAD) with different Fontaine stage.Methods Data of 100 patients clinically diagnosed as diabetic LEAD and underwent lower limbs arterial CTA were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were classified into grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ according to Fontaine classifications.Lower extremities arteries were graded according to CTA.Stenosis degree of lower extremity arteries in different Fontaine stages were analyzed.Results The grades of lower extremity arteries stenosis in different Fontaine stages had statistically significant difference (x2 =186.24,P＜0.001).There had statistically significant difference of stenosis degree in different lower extremity arterial levels among different Fontaine stages (superior genicular artery:x2 =69.24,P＜0.001;inferior genicular artery:x2 =111.59,P＜0.001;dorsalis pedis and arteriae plantaris:x2 =94.15,P＜0.001).Grades of stenosis between superior genicular arteries and inferior genicular arteries,superior genicular arteries and dorsalis pedis and arteriae plantaris had statistically significant differences (Z=12.59,P＜0.001;Z=10.47,P＜0.001).There was statistically significant difference of stenosis grades between inferior genicular artery and dorsalis pedis and arteriae plantaris (Z=12.66,P＜0.001).Occluded inferior genicular arteries usually associated with collateral vessels.Conclusion CTA can reflect the clinical stages of LEAD,which is the ideal method in diagnosing of diabetic LEAD.
