Structured PICO

Population

11 patients operated on owing to rare forms of peripheral arterial embolism (foreign body, septic, malignant tissues, cardiac myxoma, myxomatous atrial septal defect)

Intervention

Surgical treatment including foreign body extraction, thromboembolectomy, artery resection with saphenous graft interposition, and concomitant cardiosurgical procedures (aortic valve replacement, tumor excision)

Outcome

Early results of vascular surgical treatment and long-term prognosishard clinical

Surgical treatment of rare forms of peripheral arterial embolism yields very good early results, though long-term prognosis depends heavily on the underlying etiology, being poor in malignant cases.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Caution warranted on long-term outlook in malignant arterial embolism despite early surgical success; case reports leave open etiology-specific strategies.
