Abstract
Renal failure diabetic patients who present with lower extremity gangrene represent one of the most difficult problems encountered in a typical vascular practice. We report the hospital course and management of a 74-year-old male patient with such comorbidities, affected by a non healing ulcer that progressed into a large plantar abscess. Our case unfortunately mirrors a common method of evaluation and therapy of patients with such comorbidities and sets up the stage for a very controversial subject.Entities:
