Peripheral arterial emboli.

M C Connett, D H Murray, W W Wenneker

    American Journal of Surgery
    |July 1, 1984

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study on arterial emboli found that balloon embolectomy offers high limb salvage rates. Advanced patient age was the primary predictor of mortality, not the duration of embolus before treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Arterial embolism is a significant cause of limb ischemia and mortality.
    • Timely intervention is crucial for limb salvage and patient survival.
    • Understanding risk factors and treatment outcomes is essential for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of arterial embolism treatment in non-teaching private hospitals.
    • To determine the mortality and amputation rates associated with balloon embolectomy.
    • To identify critical factors influencing patient survival and limb salvage.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 111 patients with 130 arterial emboli.
    • Evaluation of data from non-teaching private hospitals.

  • Assessment of mortality, operative mortality, and limb salvage rates following balloon embolectomy.

    • Main Results:

    • Overall mortality rate for surgically treated patients was 13.7%, with a 94.5% limb salvage rate.
    • Operative mortality was 8.3%; late embolectomy showed a 3% mortality and 100% limb salvage.
    • Advanced patient age was the most significant predictor of mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Balloon embolectomy is an effective treatment for arterial embolism, achieving high limb salvage rates.
    • Patient age is a critical determinant of mortality in embolism cases.
    • Prolonged duration of embolus prior to embolectomy did not adversely affect mortality in this series.
