Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Cardiology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Bilateral acute lower limb ischemia is an uncommon vascular emergency.
  • Diagnosis typically relies on clinical presentation.

Observation:

  • Four cases of bilateral acute lower limb ischemia were analyzed.
  • Causes included cardiac myxoma embolism, paraneoplastic coagulopathy, aortic dissection, and cardiac insufficiency.

Findings:

  • Prompt revascularization via thromboembolectomy or thrombolysis is essential for limb salvage.
  • Angiography aids diagnosis in atherosclerosis but must not delay treatment.
  • Outcomes correlate with ischemia duration and cardiac status.

Implications:

  • Early intervention significantly impacts limb salvage rates.
  • Understanding diverse etiologies is key for effective management.
  • Mortality rates for bilateral acute lower limb ischemia range from 20-50%.
