    Arterial embolism management has evolved, with older, female patients and coronary artery disease being more common. Prompt treatment and anticoagulation are crucial for improving outcomes in this high-mortality condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Embolism Research

    Background:

    • Arterial embolism is a significant vascular condition.
    • Patient demographics and comorbidities are changing.
    • Coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation are frequently observed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review 44 years of experience with arterial embolism.
    • To analyze trends in patient presentation and outcomes.
    • To identify key factors for successful management.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of arterial embolism cases over 44 years.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, comorbidities, and treatment outcomes.
    • Evaluation of the impact of interventions like balloon embolectomy.

    Main Results:

    • Patients are increasingly older and female, often with atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
    • Atrial fibrillation is a common comorbidity.
    • Mortality remains high at 25%, though decreasing.
    • Limb salvage rates are 87%, with little improvement post-balloon embolectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Prompt treatment is essential for managing arterial embolism.
    • Careful patient selection for surgical intervention is critical.
    • Anticoagulation therapy plays a vital role in successful outcomes.
