## Abstract
Background: Revascularization is important for the healing of diabetic foot ulcers with peripheral arterial disease because it aids in the restoration of the perfusion function of the leg tissues and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications. However, no Indonesian studies have been identified that exclusively discuss the effectiveness of revascularization for patients with this condition. This study aimed to compare the healing rates of diabetic foot ulcers with peripheral arterial disease in patients who received or did not receive revascularization. Methods: This cohort study included diabetic foot ulcer patients with peripheral arterial disease undergoing treatment at our institution who received or did not receive revascularization based on the wound, ischemia, and foot infection (WIfI) score criteria. Wound healing was considered complete re-epithelialization within six months of the procedure or consistent epithelialization for four consecutive weeks. Patients who required amputation within six months of observation were deemed to have failed therapy. Results: < 0.01). WIfI stage 2-3 patients showed an 11.926 (1.438-98.883) times increase in the likelihood of wound healing compared to stage 4 WIfI patients. Conclusion: The wound healing rate was higher for revascularized patients than for non-revascularized patients, and the severity of the wound based on WIfI score affected patient wound healing.
