To determine whether diabetes mellitus has an independent impact on major limb outcomes at 1 year after endovascular treatment of lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). The study involved 1906 consecutive patients (mean age 66 years; 1469 men) enrolled in the observational Excellence in Pe...
