Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 65-year-old woman was evaluated for acute right lower-extremity ischemia secondary to embolization from atrial fibrillation and subtherapeutic anticoagulation. Her symptoms quickly evolved in a dynamic fashion to involve multiple vascular beds, including a transient ischemic attack, abdominal pain secondary to mesenteric ischemia, and contralateral lower-extremity ischemia. Synchronous emboli were treated by using mechanical and pharmacologic thrombolysis via an endovascular approach under local anesthesia. This intervention allows prompt evaluation of multiple vascular beds with good short-term outcomes and minimal morbidity. |
