Acute Limb Ischemia from Sudden Thrombosis of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Thrombosis of a previously undiagnosed aneurysm of the abdominal aorta in a 64-year-old woman resulted in acute and severe ischemia in both legs. Prompt surgical resection of the aneurysm and restoration of aortic continuity with a fabric graft brought about complete resolution of her symptoms, with excellent functional results one year after the operation.
