- Dr. Steven Kum is a vascular surgeon at Changi General Hospital, where 12.7% of adults are diabetic and they see an average of 1 case of critical limb ischemia (CLI) per day mostly due to diabetes. - Their vascular team handles revascularization and wound care/reconstruction for CLI patients, often performing simultaneous procedures in a hybrid operating room. - Their CLI treatment strategy involves revascularization followed by wound cleaning, granulation and skin coverage/reconstruction. They discuss how drug-eluting balloons (DEBs) can help with revascularization and controversies around their use. - Early results show DEBs may provide prolonged patency for treating CLI, which allows for faster wound healing and reduced risk
