OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the ability of high voltage pulsed current (HVPC) to increase microcirculation in critically ischemic wounds (transcutaneous oxygen [TcPO(2)] less than 10 mm Hg) and, as a result, to improve wound healing.DESIGN AND METHODS: Clinical case series with successive adult diabetic subjects (3 men and 3 women) with nonsurgical ischemic malleolar or inframalleolar skin lesions, each subject serving as his or her own control. Wound area and TcPO(2) were measured periodically. Presence of distal arteriosclerosis was assessed on 5 patients by 2-dimensional, time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography. End point was either complete wound closure or leg amputation.RESULTS: Maximum mean TcPO(2) was 2 +/- 2 mm Hg at the wound edge before the start of electrotherapy. After electrotherapy began, maximum TcPO(2) was 33 +/- 18 mm Hg (N=6; P
