An acute illness, like a perforated gastric ulcer, can severely reduce limb blood flow without vessel thrombosis. Promptly treating the underlying condition is crucial for managing acute limb ischemia.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Acute limb ischemia (ALI) typically involves arterial thrombosis or embolism.
  • Systemic illness can precipitate ALI through non-thrombotic mechanisms.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with ALI and abdominal pain.
  • Arteriography revealed iliac occlusion and distal disease.
  • Laparotomy identified a perforated gastric ulcer.

Findings:

  • Limb perfusion significantly improved after surgical treatment of the gastric ulcer.
  • The ALI was not caused by direct arterial thrombosis.

Implications:

  • Highlights non-thrombotic causes of ALI secondary to acute systemic illness.
