Upper Limb Ischemia: Clinical Experiences of Acute and Chronic Upper Limb Ischemia in a Single Center
BACKGROUND Upper limb ischemia is less common than lower limb ischemia, and relatively few cases have been reported. This paper reviews the epidemiology, etiology, and clinical characteristics of upper limb ischemia and analyzes the factors affecting functional sequelae after treatment. METHODS The records of 35 patients with acute and chronic upper limb ischemia who underwent treatment from ...
متن کاملVasospastic limb ischemia presenting acute and chronic limb ischemia.
Vasospastic limb ischemia might have been underappreciated compared to vasospasm in other territories such as heart and brain. However, an increasing awareness of this vascular disorder can be translated to an improved patients' care. Herein, we report a case of vasospasm presenting acute and chronic limb ischemia in four extremities.
متن کاملAcute ischemia in upper limb secondary to myxoma.
Cardiac tumors are an unusual cause of acute limb ischemia. Myxomas are the most frequent benign tumors and most are symptomatic. Embolization occurs in 30% to 40% of patients with myxomas, with cerebral arteries being the most common destination. We present the case of a 73-year-old woman with a history of hypertension who came to the emergency department due to pain and sudden onset of coldne...
متن کاملLATE EMBOLECTOMY FOR LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE IN ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA: A NEW PROTOCOL
Embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion. Delayed embolectomy has not been investigated adequately due to the belief that accompanying mortality and morbidity render the case futile. Following our previous experience with late arterial repair for leg or knee salvage I we applied the same principle to limbs threatened with prolo...
متن کاملA familial case of cleidocranial dysostosis presenting upper limb ischemia.
CONTEXT Upper limb ischemia is not as common as lower limb ischemia but may cause severe impairment or disability if it is misdiagnosed. CASE REPORT A case of a woman with cleidocranial dysostosis resulting in upper right limb ischemia is presented. This uncommon condition is an exceedingly rare cause of vascular compression that gives rise to thrombosis of the axillary-subclavian arteries. O...
