ACUTE ISCHAEMIA COMPLICATING LIMB TRAUMA

Acute ischaemia complicating limb trauma.

DeBakey and Simeone (1946) found that 686 per cent of amputations among United States troops in the second world war were done as the result of arterial trauma. Amputation was required in 4O 3 per cent of cases of arterial trauma. Arterial injuries associated with fractures showed a 50 per cent loss of limb with reparative measures, whereas there was a 70 per cent loss of limb when the vessel w...

Managing acute limb ischaemia.

[Acute limb ischaemia during myocardial infarction].

Wystąpienie ostrego niedokrwienia kończyny (ALI, acute limb ischaemia) wiąże się ze znacznym ograniczeniem lub zatrzymaniem przepływu w tętnicach kończyny dolnej. Jedną z przyczyn ALI może być zatorowość (35–40%) sercopochodna w przebiegu np. migotania przedsionków lub zawału serca (80%). Objawy ostrego niedokrwienia kończyn dolnych zależą od liczby i średnicy naczyń, które uległy całkowitemu z...

Revascularization Of Late-Presenting Acute Limb Ischaemia And Limb Salvage.

BACKGROUND Late-presenting acute limb ischaemia represents a challenging vascular emergency. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome in patients following revascularization and management of existing or impending reperfusion injury of ischaemic limbs over a 12-year period (2002-2014). METHODS Routine procedural codes were used to label consecutive patients admitted 72 hours foll...
