Abstract Introduction : Acute mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening condition that can lead to intestinal ischemia, bowel obstruction and peritonitis. It predominantly caused by arterial occlusion (acute thromboembolism or thrombosis); however, it rarely be secondary portal vein thrombosis. Case presentation We present the case of 61-year-old man admitted emergency service for intense abdom...

OBJECTIVES Acute lower limb ischemia caused by tumor embolization is rare, despite the fact that cancer is a common cause of hypercoagulability predisposing to venous thrombosis. Arterial embolization is mostly associated with intracardiac tumors while lung malignancies are the second most common cause of tumor embolism. METHODS In this report, we present a male patient who developed acute bi...

BACKGROUND Acute limb ischemia is both a limb-threatening and life-threatening disease process. Nontraumatic acute peripheral arterial occlusion is most commonly caused by a thrombosis or an embolism. OBJECTIVES There is limited evidence on the use of bedside ultrasound for the detection of acute limb ischemia, but duplex ultrasonography is standard in the diagnosis and operative planning in ...

The aortoiliac occlusive disease, known as Leriche syndrome, primarily merits an aortobifemoral bypass graft which is the standard surgical treatment of critical limb ischemia. However, axillofemoral bypass grafting can be also used as an alternative treatment in highrisk patients. The indications include intraabdominal graft infections, older age, and worsened overall status. In this article, ...

Pemetrexed and Carboplatin are two well-known chemioterapic agents used for the treatment of many tumors, especially for lung cancer and mesothelioma. Peripheral ischemic events related to Pemetrexed and Carboplatin are rarely reported. We herein report a case of lower limb acute ischemia related to combined treatment of Pemetrexed and Carboplatin. A 68-year-old woman was given the chemiotherap...

introduction: during hemorrhagic shock (hs), the kidneys are one of the primary target organs involved. oxidative stress is shown to be enhanced in different models of acute kidney injury (aki). remote ischemic preconditioning (rpc) by brief limb ischemia is considered to be a safe method to protect different organs from further damage. in this study, we investigated the effects of brief hind l...

We described the first case of limb ischemia induced by acute aortic dissection in the patient with previous abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. A 56-year-old male was referred for severe limb ischemia. He underwent AAA repair one month before the referral. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed Stanford type B aortic dissection extended to the proximal anastomosis site of the AAA repair. T...

BACKGROUND Recent clinical use of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the treatment of both myocardial and peripheral ischemia has suggested the possibility of tissue specific coregulation of VEGF and its receptors (eg, kinase domain region [KDR]). The present study was performed to detect the relationship between VEGF and KDR protein levels after acute myocardial and peripheral ischem...

BACKGROUND Reperfusion injury is insufficiently addressed in current clinical management of acute limb ischemia. Controlled reperfusion carries an enormous clinical potential and was tested in a new reality-driven rodent model. METHODS AND RESULTS Acute hind-limb ischemia was induced in Wistar rats and maintained for 4 hours. Unlike previous tourniquets models, femoral vessels were surgically...
