ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA DUE TO FEMOROPOPLITEAL EMBOLISM OF HYDATID CYST

acute lower limb ischemia due to femoropopliteal embolism of hydatid cyst

in addition to the liver, human hydatidosis has been reported in the lung, brain, abdominal viscera, muscles, and heart chambers. infarction of the brain has also been documented. arterial embolism of the lower extremities by hydatid cyst, however, is extremely rare. in the presented case, acute ischemia of the patient's left leg led to gangrene and amputation. complete workup for localiza...

Interventricular septum hydatid cyst presenting with acute lower limb ischemia: a case report

Cardiac hydatid cysts are rarely seen. The presentation of an acute lower limb ischemia secondary to embolization from an interventricular hydatic cyst is also rare. We describe a case of a 30-year-old-man who presented with acute lower limb ischemia revealing hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum and septal defect, and who was operated on successfully.

EMBOLECTOMY FORACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA

In this prospective descriptive study, all patients with acute lower limb ischemia who presented to Shohada Tajrish Hospital (STH) between July 200 1 and July 2003 were analyzed and followed for 6 months. The total population of 109 patients, with no significant difference in sexual distribution had a mean age of 64± 16 years. 23% had AF and 31 % had a history of MI, 'but in the ECG of 30%,...

LATE EMBOLECTOMY FOR LIMB OR KNEE SALVAGE IN ACUTE LOWER LIMB ISCHEMIA: A NEW PROTOCOL

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...
