Summary
Peripheral aneurysms can lead to limb-threatening acute ischemia, even when asymptomatic. Prompt surgical intervention is crucial for managing these vascular conditions and preventing amputation.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Peripheral Vascular Disease
- Aneurysm Pathophysiology
Context:
- Peripheral aneurysms present diverse etiological, pathological, and clinical challenges.
- Asymptomatic aneurysms pose a significant risk of acute limb ischemia.
- Limb-threatening complications necessitate timely and effective management strategies.
Purpose:
- To analyze the etiological, pathological, and clinical characteristics of peripheral aneurysms.
- To highlight the risk of acute limb ischemia and potential amputation from aneurysms.
- To report outcomes from a series of surgically managed peripheral aneurysm cases.
Summary:
- This study reviews peripheral aneurysm patterns, emphasizing the risk of acute limb ischemia and amputation.
- Ten cases of peripheral aneurysms, treated electively and emergently, are presented.
- Immediate and long-term results of surgical interventions for peripheral aneurysms are reported.
Impact:
- Informs clinical decision-making for peripheral aneurysm management.
- Underscores the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to prevent limb loss.
- Contributes data on the efficacy of surgical treatment for peripheral aneurysms.
