Acute limb ischemia, a serious medical condition characterized by a rapid decrease in limb perfusion, often threatens limb viability. Acute limb ischemia can be secondary to multitude of causes, with the two most common being embolus and thrombosis in situ secondary to underlying peripheral artery disease. In this report we present an unusual case of acute limb ischemia secondary to intimal sarcoma of the thoracic aorta and outline the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in such cases.
急性肢体缺血,一种以肢体灌注迅速下降为特征的严重医学病症,常威胁肢体存活。急性肢体缺血可继发于多种病因,最常见的是继发于潜在外周动脉疾病的原位栓子和血栓形成。在本报告中,我们介绍了一例继发于胸主动脉内膜肉瘤的不常见急性肢体缺血病例,并概述了心血管磁共振成像在这种情况下的作用。
