Successful Simultaneous Revascularization for Acute Limb Ischemia and Concomitant Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, even with the advent of technical advances. Although myocardial infarction is one of the causes of ALI along with intraventricular thrombus formation and subsequent embolism, ALI with concomitant acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is extremely rare. Here, we report a complicated ALI case with concurrent AMI and prolonged limb ischemic duration. The cause may be attributed to thrombosis with atherosclerotic disease of the coronary and peripheral arteries triggered by dehydration. We successfully treated the patient using simultaneous revascularization in a hybrid operating room with the aid of intraoperative hemodialysis for preventing life-threatening reperfusion syndrome.
