ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by elevated levels of glucose in the blood. This causes small nerve polyneuropathy resulting in diabetic foot ulcers. A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that develops as a result of chronic diabetes. Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) near-infrared (NIR) can provide real-time visualization of blood flow within the microvasculature of the underlying organ. Here, we discuss a 63-year-old patient who came with a diabetic foot ulcer over his right great toe. His blood glucose level was 208 mg/dl. He drinks alcohol occasionally and smokes regularly. The tissue perfusion of his right foot was checked using the indocyanine green dye, after which orthopedic surgeons were consulted, and the gangrenous part was amputated.
