[Up-date on acute ischemia of the limbs]

The authors report their experience in the treatment of acute ischemia of the limbs during the last year. They underline the importance of a right diagnostic and therapeutic treatment particularly in a little hospital, as reported in an algorytm published recently in the literature. They analyze 11 patients, one of them with an embolism of the arm, with a different degree of ischemia. The results are similar to those reported in the literature.
