    This study reports on 6 upper extremity embolism cases treated with Fogarty embolectomy. Successful revascularization was achieved in most cases, highlighting limb vitality as crucial for outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Embolism Treatment
    • Revascularization Procedures

    Background:

    • Upper extremity embolism is a critical condition requiring prompt intervention.
    • Arterial occlusion in the upper limb can lead to severe ischemia and potential limb loss.

    Observation:

    • Six cases of upper extremity embolism were analyzed over a three-year period.
    • All patients underwent Fogarty embolectomy for treatment.

    Findings:

    • Favorable revascularization results were achieved in 5 out of 6 patients.
    • One patient required forearm amputation due to advanced ischemic lesions at presentation.

    Implications:

    • Limb vitality at the time of admission is a primary determinant of successful treatment outcomes.
