Objective: To evaluate the superiority of transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) before, during and after peripheral transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in comparison with ankle brachial index (ABI) in patients with diabetes. Methods: 40 consecutive patients with diabetes treated by PTA where included. This study shows results before, during and after PTA and their progression for 8 weeks. Results: The TcPO2 increased from 28.11 +/- 8.1 to 48.03 +/- 8.4 mmHg, 8 weeks after PTA (p < 0.001). The ABI increased from 0.48 +/- 0.38 to 0.77 +/- 0.39 after PTA (p < 0.001). After PTA, the stenosis of the vessel decreased from 58.33 +/- 20.07% to 21.87 +/- 13.57% (p < 0.001). TcPO2 was determined in all the patients, but ABI could not be determined in all patients. Furthermore, we determined patients with false negatives with an improvement in ABI and false positives in 12.5% of patients. Additionally, in this study, we monitored TcPO2 while performing PTA, revealing variations in each phase of the radiological procedure. Conclusion: The increase in TcPO2 measurements following PTA procedure has more specificity and sensitivity than does ABI. The use of TcPO2 may represent a more accurate alternative than traditional methods (ABI) used in assessing PTA results. The TcPO2 also allows the radiologist to assess changes in tissue oxygenation during PTA, allowing changes to the procedure and subsequent treatment. Advances in knowledge: This is the first time that a graph is shown with TcPO2 results during PTA performance in many patients.
