Vascular emergencies, though rare, are serious causes of abdominal and back pain, shock, and death. This review covers their anatomy, risks, symptoms, and common conditions like thrombosis and aneurysms.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular surgery
  • Abdominal imaging
  • Emergency medicine

Background:

  • Vascular emergencies represent a critical, albeit infrequent, cause of severe morbidity and mortality in adults.
  • These emergencies manifest with symptoms such as abdominal pain, back pain, and hemorrhagic shock.
  • Understanding these conditions is vital for timely diagnosis and intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of abdominal vascular emergencies.
  • To elucidate the relevant vascular anatomy, risk factors, and clinical presentations.
  • To discuss key pathological entities including thrombosis, ischemia, infarction, emboli, and aneurysms.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of abdominal vascular emergencies.
  • Synthesis of information on anatomy, risk factors, and clinical signs.
