Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 16-year-old Caucasian teenager developed fatigue, abdominal pain, pneumonia, and subsequently acute vascular occlusion of the left superficial femoral artery. Vascular assessment and heparin therapy lead to bone marrow aspiration and a diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Treatment with chemotherapy prevented loss of limb and avoided further vascular surgery. Young patients with acute vascular occlusion require an in-depth assessment including attention to hematological disorders. Clots obtained on thromboembolectomy should be sent for pathological assessment and not discarded, especially in an unusual-age patient for arterial embolus. |
