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...

Mycotic aneurysm (MA) is an infrequent complication of infective endocarditis (IE), reported in 3 to 15% of the patients with IE. The commonest site for such aneurysm is intracranial vessels (65%) followed by abdominal and then the peripheral vessels. We describe a case of 32 year old man with recently diagnosed rheumatic heart disease and mitral regurgitation. He had infective endocarditis (IE...

متن کاملThe role of popliteal artery embolectomy in the management of acute lower limb ischemia: our experience.
INTRODUCTION The Authors report their experience in the management of acute lower limbs ischemia through distal popliteal artery approach. PATIENTS AND METHODS Five popliteal embolectomy through a medial approach were performed; in one patient a posterior approach was carried out. Patients were included in two groups on the basis of ischemia duration: group A<6 hours (3 patients) and group B>...
