The analysis according to the postoperative
ischemic ulcer local perfusion was only performed in those procedures in which at least one patent tibial vessel was obtained.
In recent decades, the role of vacuum systems in improving tissue circulation and wound healing has been emphasized and the use of negative-pressure wound dressings for treatment of
ischemic ulcers has been highly recommended.
Therefore, ozone has also been used empirically as a clinical therapeutic agent for chronic wounds, such as
ischemic ulcers, trophic ulcers, and diabetic wounds [26].
Eligible patients were men and women 18 to 65 years of age with atherosclerotic Ischemic Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) or Thromboangiitis Obliterans (TAO)/Buerger's disease of the lower extremities defined as ischemic pain at rest and minor tissue loss and
ischemic ulcers or gangrene, which may be dry or humid, with Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) [less than or equal to] 0.6 or ankle pressure [less than or equal to] 60 mmHg or TcP[O.sub.2] [less than or equal to] 35 mmHg in the foot, without acceptable options for revascularization.
In a small study of patients with Thromboangiitis Obliterans, intramuscularly administered vascular endothelial growth factor resulted in the healing of
ischemic ulcers and relief of rest pain.14 Several studies have evaluated autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell implantation for patients with critical limb ischemia resulting from Thromboangiitis obliterans.15-17 although short-term results of therapeutic angiogenesis have been promising, long-term safety and efficacy require further investigation.18
Major manifestations of limb threatening ischemia are rest pain,
ischemic ulcers and gangrene2.
