Abstract
Peripheral artery disease(PAD)is one of diabetic macrovascular complications,with characteristics of being more distal.segmental and extensive.The clinical manifestation of PAD is usually not noticed,and thus diagnosis easily missed.However,PAD is a main cause of diabetic foot and amputation,which would be diagnosed relatively easily if due attention is paid to artery pulse,ankle-brachial blood pressure index,and skin temperature.Ultrasound,CT,MR,and digital subtraction angiography(DSA)examinations are quite useful tools in diagnosis of PAD.The treatment of PAD,including medical and surgical intervention,has been developing quickly.Therapy with stem cell transplantation has been tested in some clinics. Key words: Diabetes mellitus; Peripheral artery diseases; Diabetic foot
