Treatment of Diabetic Foot Using Meridian-collateral Theory
a new concept "meridian-collateral and vascular system diseases"is proposed.This theory is based upon the close relations betweens pulse of Chinese medicine and blood vessels in western medicine
between meridians & collaterals and middle & small vessels
as well as between tertiary collateral and micro-vessels & micro-circulation.It is considered that diabetic foot is the complication of diabetics affecting the great
middle
small and micro-vessels in the limbs for a long time.Diabetic foot belongs to the category of meridiancollateral and vascular system diseases.Based upon the homoousia of "meridian-collateral and vessels"
the authors put forward promoting angiogenesis and establishing collateral circulation to improve the micro-environment in the ischemia areas
which may provide theoretical guidance for treating diabetic foot with dredging collateral method.
