Objective:To evaluate the prognosis of acute peripheral arterial embolization.Methods:From Jan 1990 to Jun 2002
117 cases with 149 times of embolization were analyzed retrospectively to determine the distribution
amputation rate and mortality of arterial embolization.Logistic regression was employed to define the role of site
the extent and range of ischemia
ischemic time
treatment modality
with or without atherosclerosis
and recurrent onset on amputation rate of extremities.Results:Approximately 87% of embolization occurred in lower limbs
that occuring in internal organ was about 2% and upper extremities 10%.Among 117 cases
the mortality was 11.9%
amputation rate 7.8% and limb salvage 92.2%.Conclusion:Underlying heart disease and embolization of internal principal organ are the leading causes of death.Single embolectomy and anti-coagulation therapy are the mainstay of treatment for acute embolization.The major prognosis of limbs depended on the extent and range of ischemia and secondary treatment.
