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.
