Acute limb ischemia is a critical vascular emergency often resulting from embolic sources, requiring prompt intervention to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. This paper presents a case of a 74-year-old female with acute limb ischemia due to a thromboembolus in the distal brachial artery and a nonocclusive mobile thrombus in the innominate artery. The patient underwent urgent brachial artery thromboembolectomy and subsequent retrograde innominate artery stenting via right open transcarotid approach.

Open ligamentous ankle injuries without an associated fracture or dislocation are rare and to our knowledge have only sparsely been described in the literature. We present a case and successful treatment of an open lateral ankle injury with capsular rupture and ligamentous damage without fracture or dislocation in a 22-year-old female.
