Anticoagulation in embolic acute limb ischaemia-an observational study.

The management of embolic acute limb ischaemia commonly involves determining aetiology and performing emergency invasive procedures. This detailed study aimed to determine the impact of manipulation of anticoagulation in the aetiology of emboli in acute limb ischaemia and determine the efficacy of primary anticoagulation therapy vs. invasive interventions.

Conventional angiography findings in hemodynamically unstable patients with acute abdominal hemorrhage and a negative CT bleeding study.

Background: CT bleeding study (CTA) is regularly requested in acute abdominal haemorrhage (AAH) with haemodynamic instability by clinical teams and interventional radiologists because CTA can; detect arterial bleeding at low rates of hemorrhage, accurately localize the bleeding point and characterize the etiology. How best to manage an unstable patient who has an AAH with a haematoma and no acute vascular findings on CTA represents a difficult clinical scenario for treating physicians and Interventional Radiologists.

Purpose: To review the conventional angiography (CA) findings and clinical outcome of hemodynamically unstable patients with AAH who had a preceding negative CTA.
