Core Tip
Core Tip: Diabetic foot ulcers can be a serious and common complication of diabetes. In severe cases, they can lead to lower extremity damage and amputation. Traditional treatments such as flap transposition and transfemoral amputation are not always applicable in all cases. This report describes the successful treatment of ischemic diabetic plantar and heel ulcers in a patient undergoing hemodialysis using sequential treatment involving percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, tissue-engineered skin grafts, and negative pressure wound therapy. This treatment method may be a viable alternative for patients who are unsuitable for traditional treatments and could help prevent the need for amputation.
