PY - 2009 T2 - Peripheral Arterial Disease AB - Chronic wounds and ulcers are frequently encountered in patients with peripheral vascular disease (PVD) who often have insufficient distal arterial perfusion for wound healing. If the obstructed or stenosed inflow arteries can be bypassed or dilated, the wounds usually heal. However, the wound itself must be addressed surgically and medically along with revascularization. Until recently, wound care has not always been adequately emphasized in undergraduate medical programs.
