Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Angioplasty has long been used in the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease with variable long-term results. In this case report, we present a patient with marfanoid features and acute ischemia of the lower extremity. Angioplasty provided us with the means of emergently relieving the acute symptoms. The patient was subsequently found on further work-up to have hyperhomocysteinemia (HC) and appropriate medical therapy was initiated. We conclude that angioplasty should be considered in pediatric patients with acute occlusive limb ischemia, providing excellent immediate results to preserve the limb as well as the time to investigate the underlying causes. |
