Abstract

Acute limb #ischemy is caused by sudden inadequate blood flow of the limbs. It manifests by pain, disturbance of perception and movement of varying intensity and range. 15% cases is caudes by embolism, 85% is caudes by arterial #thrombosis. The diagnostic and therapeutic approach depends on the degree of disability. Is expressed the Rutherford classification. Treatment is conservative, #endovascular or surgical.Mortality associated with an acute peripheral artery occlusion is high, averaging 10-25%. The thrombotic type of closure is formed on the basis of a preexisting atherosclerotic throat, with ischaemia manifestations less severe than with a sudden embolic closure, due to the possible presence of collateral circulation. The most common localization of the thrombotic cap of the peripheral artery is the superficial femoral artery [2-4].Acute thrombotic or #embolic closure of peripheral arteries also occurs in connection with arterial #aneurysms, most commonly in the area of the popliteal artery. #Popliteal aneurysms are degenerative in 90% of cases, and in 60-70% of cases they occur bilaterally. #Flegmazia cerulea dolens is a rare cause of ALI, and may occur with a massive deep vein thrombosis that causes severe swelling of soft tissues, resulting in decreased arterial blood flow in the affected limb, and may develop ALI (Figures 3 & 4).
