Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) is defi ned as a sudden decrease in limb perfusion that threatens the viability of the limb. Physical fi ndings may include absence of pulse distal to the occlusion, cold and pale or mottled skin, reduced sensation, decreased strength and may be associated with ...
Limb ischaemia is classified on the basis of onset and severity. Complete acute ischaemia will lead to extensive tissue necrosis within six hours unless the limb is surgicallyrevascularised. Incomplete acute ischaemia can usually be trea... K Callum,A Bradbury - 《Bmj Clinical Research》 被引量...
Acute limb ischaemia is the most common vascular surgical emergency. In spite of recent advances in vascular surgery, it continues to carry a poor prognosis, if not early diagnosed and managed. Methods: This is a case-report of 2 patients referenced to a vascular surgery emergency department of...
The value of creatine kinase (CK) and aspartate transaminase (AST) has not been previously evaluated following cardiac surgery in the diagnosis of acute limb ischaemia. Our objective was to assess the value of CK and AST with reference to the diagnosis of limb ischaemia, effect on renal functio...
This study included 128 patients (140 limbs) with arterial thrombotic ischaemia (104 patients with lower limb ischaemia, 22 patients with upper limb ischaemia, and two patients with both upper and lower limb ischaemia). The most common site of thrombosis in the lower limb in this study was ...
Acute Limb Ischaemia (ALI) is defined as sudden decrease in limb perfusion that threatens the viability of the limb. Symptoms depend on the severity of hypo perfusion. The management also depends on the severity of hypo perfusion as well as the time interval of arrival on hospital and the ...
Quality of life analysis in patients with lower limb ischaemia: Suggestions for European standardisation In this era of evidence-based medicine and limited resources we seem obliged, on clinical and economic grounds, to demonstrate that we improve not only pat... IC Chetter,JI Spark,P Dolan,.....
Two-year follow-up after acute thromboembolic lower limb ischaemia: the importance of continuing warfarin treatment Background: The Vascular Surgical Society carried out an audit of follow-up after acute thromboembolic lower limb ischaemia.Methods: The audit of acute low...

During this study, conservative heparin treatment and, when needed, delayed surgery was employed in acute limb ischaemia when the ischaemia was less severe as judged by assessment of distal motor and sensory functions, regardless of the presumed aetiology of the acute ischaemia. The results are ...
A series of 204 consecutive patients with acute lower limb ischaemia was treated over a 5-year period in a Regional Vascular Unit. The mean age was 70 years, with a range of 41–98 and a female to male ratio of 1: 0.94. Eighty-eight percent were treated by operation. Twenty-one had...
