Limb Ischemia

Acute limb ischaemia (ALI) occurs when blood supply to a limb is suddenly absent.Acute limb ischaemia is triggered by embolism or thrombosis, or sometimes by dissection or trauma. Thrombosis is typically caused by peripheral vascular disease (aatherosclerotic disease that contributes to blockage of the blood vessel), whereas an embolism is generally cardiac in nature. Acute limb ischaemia is a highly treatable condition with proper surgical care; however, delayed treatment (beyond 6 to 12 hours) may result in permanent disability, amputation, and/or death. Chronic limb threatening ischemia is the result of peripheral artery disease that progresses over time , in contrast to acute limb ischemia.
