    Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics
    |October 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Delayed embolectomy for arterial occlusion can be successful, even weeks after symptom onset. Intraoperative arteriography and direct distal approaches improve outcomes in these late surgical interventions.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Cardiology
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Delayed embolectomy presents challenges in managing acute limb ischemia.
    • Literature review indicates variable outcomes for late surgical interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of delayed embolectomy in acute limb ischemia.
    • To identify factors influencing outcomes in late embolectomy procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series of eight patients with delayed embolectomy.
    • Comprehensive literature review of 241 additional patients.
    • Analysis of time intervals from clinical onset to intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Successful arterial pulse restoration in 7 of 8 patients in the case series.

  • Literature review: 172 viable extremities, 48 amputations, 30 deaths.
  • Time intervals ranged from 2 days to 8 weeks post-clinical onset.
  • Conclusions:

    • Delayed embolectomy can achieve limb salvage.
    • Intraoperative arteriography is recommended for improved results.
    • Direct operative approach to the distal arterial tree enhances outcomes.
