What is Acute Arterial Occlusion?• Results in the sudden cessation of blood flow
to an organ or body part

Symptoms• Arms or legs:
– Cold arm or leg – Decreased or no pulse in an arm or leg – Fingers or hands feel cool – Lack of movement in the arm or leg – Muscle pain in the affected area – Muscle spasm in the affected area – Numbness and tingling in the arm or leg – Pale color of the arm or leg (pallor) – Weakness of an arm or leg

Symptoms• Later symptoms:
– Blisters of the skin fed by the affected artery – Shedding (sloughing) of skin – Skin erosion (ulcer) – Tissue death (necrosis; skin is dark and damaged)

Symptoms• Organ:
– Pain in the part of the body that is involved – Temporarily decreased organ function
![Page 7: Acute Arterial Occlusion - FINAL](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061200/54778ce6b4af9f9c108b4816/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Treatment Options• Endovascular Therapy
– Peripheral Transluminal Angioplasty– Peripheral Stenting– Atherectomy– Thrombolytic Therapy– Embolic or foreign body retrieval
• Surgery– Bypass grafts– Fasciotomy– Amputation– Endarterectomy
![Page 8: Acute Arterial Occlusion - FINAL](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061200/54778ce6b4af9f9c108b4816/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Considerations for Endovascular and Surgical Therapy
• Location and length of the occlusion• Etiology (Embolus vs thrombus)• Duration of ischemia• Native artery or graft• Patient-related risks• Intervention-related risks• Contraindications to thrombolysis
![Page 9: Acute Arterial Occlusion - FINAL](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061200/54778ce6b4af9f9c108b4816/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lower Extremity Acute Ischemia2007 Inter-Society Consensus for the
Management of Peripheral Arterial Disease (TASC II)• Acute limb ischemia is defined as a sudden decrease
in limb perfusion that causes a potential threat to limb viability (manifested by ischemic rest pain, ischemic ulcers, and/or gangrene) in patients who present within two weeks of the acute event
• Patients with similar manifestations who present later than two weeks are considered to have critical limb ischemia, which is by definition chronic

Lower Extremity Acute Ischemia• Diagnostic Tests
– Arteriography• Embolus: Sharp cutoff with a rounded reverse
meniscus sign.– Intraluminal filling defect if the vessel is not
completely occluded. –Presence of otherwise normal vessels, the
absence of collateral circulation, and the presence of multiple filling defects.
![Page 14: Acute Arterial Occlusion - FINAL](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061200/54778ce6b4af9f9c108b4816/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Lower Extremity Acute Ischemia• Diagnostic Tests
– Arteriography• Arterial thrombosis: Sharp or tapered, but not
rounded, cutoff.–Diffuse atherosclerosis with well developed
collateral circulation is generally present.

Complications of Revascularization• Reperfusion syndrome
– Hypotension– Hyperkalemia– Myoglobinuria– Renal failure
• Compartment syndrome• Ischemic neuropathy• Muscle necrosis• Recurrent thrombosis
![Page 24: Acute Arterial Occlusion - FINAL](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061200/54778ce6b4af9f9c108b4816/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Reperfusion Syndrome• Is the paradoxical and complex phenomenon of
exacerbation of cellular dysfunction and increase in cell death after the restoration of blood flow to previously ischemic tissues.
• Massive wash out of lactate, potassium, myoglobin, with resultant systemic acidosis, hyperkalemia, myoglobinuria and free radicals releasing.
• Simultaneously, the acutely revascularized limb develops massive edema, hemoconcentration and hypovolemia with subsequent impairment of the renal function
![Page 25: Acute Arterial Occlusion - FINAL](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061200/54778ce6b4af9f9c108b4816/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Reperfusion Syndrome• There are two components which follows extremity
ischemia: – Local response, which follows reperfusion, consists
of limb swelling with its potential for aggravating tissue injury
– Systemic response, which results in multiple organ failure and death.

Reperfusion Syndrome• Treatment
– Fasciotomy– Anticoagulation– Amputation
![Page 27: Acute Arterial Occlusion - FINAL](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061200/54778ce6b4af9f9c108b4816/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Compartment Syndrome• It is an acute medical problem following injury,
surgery or in most cases repetitive and extensive muscle use, in which increased pressure within a confined space (fascial compartment) in the body impairs blood supply.
• Most commonly seen in the anterior compartment and posterior compartment of the leg.
• Irreversible nerve damage & muscle death
