Chronic vascular occlusion, acute limb ischemia, vascular injury
Take home message
1) Chronic limb ischemia affects 4% of
the world's population and manifests most often by intermittent claudication,
less often by the development of ischemic limb defects. In this case, the limb
without revascularization is at risk of high amputation.
2) Acute limb ischemia is most often
caused by arterial embolism or thrombosis and is a sudden event in vascular
surgery with the need for an acute treatment
3) Vascular injury most often involves
the limb arteries and veins, therapy includes measures to stop the bleeding and
subsequent reconstruction of the vascular system or ligation of bleeding
arteries and veins
