The main goal of this Multidisciplinary School is to support clinicians to develop specific competencies in order to deal with and manage critical limb ischemia and diabetic foot disorders, to reinforce specific skills for selecting and applying appropriate revascularization techniques in critical limb ischemia treatment, tailoring the intervention according to lesion type and revascularization targets.
The increased knowledge of the clinical manifestations and pathophysiology of these diseases together with the specific interventional approaches will enable the learner to prevent delayed and incorrect diagnosis by selecting the appropriate treatment approach and to adopt well-time and patient-tailored strategies.
In this course, we will propose in the first unit a decision flow chart for choosing the best revascularization strategy in diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia. In the second unit, we will summarize our experience in endovascular treatment of diabetic critical limb ischemia, focusing on the main technical challenges in treating below-the-knee vessels.

Learning Points:
- Recognize the different obstructive patterns of atherosclerotic disease in diabetic and non-diabetic patients
- Evaluate the different interventional approach in claudication and in critical limb ischemia, applying the correct revascularization strategy and pursuing the correct vascular targets
- Learn the key-points and necessary steps to establish a multidisciplinary team and a diabetic foot clinic
- Distinguish different targets in percutaneous revascularization strategy
- Learn/Perform/Practice a variety of revascularization techniques to be applied in critical limb ischemia management
- Evaluate the problem of prevention of restenosis considering the studies on below-the-knee vessel stenting and how restenosis affects wound healing
