Arterial Embolism in the Limbs

چکیده
Material The views expressed in this paper are based on a study of clinical and morbid anatomical material, personally observed by the writer during the period I938 to I954. It comprises: (i) Clinical records of a series of 122 separate incidents of limb embolism in 69 patients. (2) Records of 48 autopsies on patients of the clinical series. (3) An additional series of 269 patients suffering from mitral stenosis, examined for evidence of old arterial occlusions in the limbs. (4) An anatomical study of arterial collaterals, made on 66 human subjects by post-mortem arteriography. (A fuller account of this study is to be published.)
