Abstract:
A young Native American woman presented with ischemia of the left lower limb resulting from embolic occlusion of the left common iliac artery and left femoral artery. The source of her emboli was aortic thrombus. The only underlying abnormality responsible for her hypercoagulability appeared to be hyperhomocysteinemia.
