Abstract

Patients with significant peripheral arterial disease (PAD) face many challenges with wound healing. This is primarily due to lack of adequate blood flow to a wound site to allow effective healing. Restoration of adequate blood flow may require surgical as well as medical interventions. Consequently, patients with PAD may have surgical wounds in addition to pre-existing arterial ulcers they have on presentation to a vascular service. A holistic approach to wound assessment and care planning is crucial to optimise healing. This case study outlines the importance of using advanced wound therapies in addition to evidence-based holistic wound care to achieve healing in two patients with complex PAD.

先进的伤口治疗促进严重外周动脉疾病患者愈合：两例报告。

严重外周动脉疾病（PAD）患者在伤口愈合方面面临许多挑战。这主要是由于缺乏足够的血液流向伤口部位，使其无法有效愈合。恢复足够的血流可能需要手术和医疗干预。因此，PAD患者在就诊时除了已有的动脉溃疡外，还可能有外科伤口。伤口评估和护理计划的整体方法对于优化愈合至关重要。本病例研究概述了使用先进的伤口治疗方法以及基于证据的整体伤口护理的重要性，以实现两例复杂PAD患者的愈合。
