| Popis: |
Upper extremity acute limb ischemia (ALI) owing to obstruction proximal to the vertebral artery poses the risk of posterior stroke during intervention. We describe a case of upper extremity ALI secondary to thrombosis of the proximal left subclavian artery with thromboembolic occlusion at the brachial bifurcation. The patient underwent a hybrid procedure of open thromboembolectomy with endovascular vertebral artery embolic protection. The patient's distal pulses and upper extremity function returned to baseline, without evidence of posterior stroke. A literature review revealed limited reports of the use of cerebral embolic protection in the setting of emergent thromboembolectomy for upper extremity ALI. |
