CONCLUSIONS TR-PCI has a substantial influence on UEF, as was measured with our sensitive score, with 56.8% of the patients having UED after the procedure. Therefore, special attention during follow-up regarding the upper extremity is justified, and should be implemented. Furthermore, there are indications that certain patients might be at higher risk and might benefit from slender radial techn...

BACKGROUND Arterial thromboses, including cerebral infarction, are a rare complication of the nephrotic syndrome. SUMMARY OF REPORT A 37-year-old woman presented with right upper extremity ischemia, left middle cerebral artery thrombosis, and right cerebellar infarction. She quickly herniated, and postmortem evaluation revealed membranous nephropathy. Increased fibrinogen and decreased free p...

Effective treatment of arterial thoracic outlet syndrome includes early recognition and timely correction, with sufficient decompression of the thoracic outlet. A 56-year-old female suffered recrudescent right upper extremity ischemia due to thromboembolic event, raising suspicion for arterial thoracic outlet syndrome and prompting further imaging studies for confirmation. Decompression of the ...

Case This case report is of a 39 (4/7)weeks infant who presented at the time of birth with an immobile, cyanotic right upper extremity consistent with ischemia but without evidence of gangrene. Doppler examination identified pulses in the axillary but not the brachial or radial arteries. Extremity arterial ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of an arterial thrombosis extending from the right axi...

During exercise, muscular expansion and swelling occur. Chronic exertional compartment syndrome represents abnormally increased compartment pressures and pain in the involved extremity secondary to a noncompliant musculofascial compartment. Most commonly, it occurs in the lower leg, but has been reported in the thigh, foot, upper extremity, and erector spinae musculature. The diagnosis is obtai...

Neurosurgical procedures involving temporal lobe, skull base, posterior fossa, and the retroperitoneal approach to the thoracolumbar spine are often performed in the lateral position. Lateral position can lead to upper extremity neuropathies, arm ischemia, and compartment syndrome and thus axillary rolls are employed to support the upper chest and prevent positional injuries. Institutional vari...

BACKGROUND Vascular disorders of the upper extremity in young and physically active patients present a complex and challenging problem for the treating physician. Initial presentation may often be subtle and the consequences of misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis or mistreatment can be severe. CASE REPORT In this report, we discuss a case of a young woman with chronic upper limb ischemia due to a...

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is recognized as the major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Coronary artery interventions are considered the best therapeutic choice for most patients. Similar to other invasive procedures, these interventions whether performed from femoral or upper extremities have their own complications. There is a paucity of studies reg...
