Microvascular and macrovascular reactivity is reduced in subjects at risk for type 2 diabetes.
A E Caballero,Subodh Arora,Rola Saouaf,Su Chi Lim,Paula Smakowski,J Y Park,George L. King,Frank W. LoGerfo,Edward S. Horton,Aristidis Veves +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that abnormalities in vascular reactivity and biochemical markers of endothelial cell activation are present early in individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even at a stage when normal glucose tolerance exists, and that factors in addition to insulin resistance may be operative.

Current concepts. Vascular and microvascular disease of the foot in diabetes. Implications for foot care.
Frank W. LoGerfo,Jay D. Coffman +1 more
TL;DR: The prevailing view regarding the presence of microvascular occlusive disease probably originated in an early study by Goldenberg et al. as discussed by the authors, which led to inappropriate care of the patient and a hopeless attitude on the part of the physician.

Major lower extremity amputation: outcome of a modern series.
Bernadette Aulivola,Chantel Hile,Allen D. Hamdan,Malachi G. Sheahan,Jennifer R. Veraldi,John J. Skillman,David R. Campbell,Sherry D. Scovell,Frank W. LoGerfo,Frank B. Pomposelli +9 more
TL;DR: Long-term survival is dismal for patients with DM and end-stage renal disease and those undergoing AKA, and major amputation continues to result in significant morbidity and mortality.

A decade of experience with dorsalis pedis artery bypass: analysis of outcome in more than 1000 cases.
Frank B. Pomposelli,Nikhil Kansal,Alan D. Hamdan,Alana K. Belfield,Malachi G. Sheahan,David R. Campbell,John J. Skillman,Frank W. LoGerfo +7 more
TL;DR: Dorsalis pedis bypass is durable with a high likelihood of ischemic foot salvage over many years and short vein grafts from distal inflow sites are possible in more than 50% of cases, justifying the routine use of pedal arterial reconstruction for patients with diabetes with isChemic foot complications.

Endothelial dysfunction and the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthetase in diabetic neuropathy, vascular disease, and foot ulceration.
Aristidis Veves,Cameron M. Akbari,James Primavera,Valerie M. Donaghue,Dimitrios Zacharoulis,J S Chrzan,Umberto DeGirolami,Frank W. LoGerfo,Roy Freeman +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the endothelium-dependent and endothelial-independent vasodilations are impaired in diabetic patients predisposed to foot ulceration and that neuropathy is the main factor associated with this abnormality.
