Radiotracer Imaging of Lower Extremity Skeletal Muscle Perfusion in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to look at a new method to evaluate blood flow to the calves and feet.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) patient outcomes will be evaluated for up to 12 months after their revascularization procedure to assess how early changes in SPECT-derived foot perfusion relate to rates of diabetic wound healing and limb salvage. Outcomes will be specifically evaluated at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after revascularization at the time of their follow-up clinic visits to the OSU Comprehensive Wound Center at OSU Hospital East. Primary outcomes of interest will be 1) changes in wound size and healing, 2) minor or major amputations of the lower extremity, and 3) any subsequent interventional procedures, such as balloon angioplasty, stenting, or surgical bypass.
