| Popis: | Background: The existence of a high-grade stenosis in the carotid arteries is thought to increase the risk of stroke in people with asymptomatic carotid illness. Atherosclerotic events like endothelial damage or inflammation leads to stenosis. Objectives: to assess the rate of carotid artery stenosis in diabetic patients with chronic ischemia of lower limb. Patients and methods: This cross-sectional investigation was carried out at the Qena University Hospital's Vascular Surgery department. From those visiting the vascular surgery department's outpatient clinic at Qena University Hospital, 100 patients in all were chosen. The trial lasted between six and twelve months. Results: Relation between carotid artery stenosis and grade of chronic ischemia and it show highly statistically significant differences between them. Relation between HbA1C level and carotid artery stenosis and it show highly statistically significant differences between them. Conclusion: Patients with persistent lower limb ischemia had a significant frequency of carotid artery stenosis. |
