Aim: To determine predictors of clinical outcome following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in diabetic patients with below knee atherosclerotic lesions causing critical limb ischaemia (CLI).Results: Successful limb salvage was seen in 88% with CLI. Complete wound healing was achieved in 76% of cases with a mean time to healing of 10.7 months. Significant predictors of MACO were technical failure (P value 0.002) and occlusive lesions (P value 0.019). We reported a percentage of 76.1% freedom of MACO. Conclusion: Below knee PTA is a feasible therapeutic option in this diabetic population. Technical failure and occlusive lesions may be predictors of adverse outcome
