A complex examination of 60 patients with different stages of disturbances of blood circulation (by the Fontain classification) with chronic arterial insufficiency was performed. Specific features of regional hemodynamics were revealed in patient with "critical ischemia" (3rd and 4th stages of the disease). Threshold values of the "critical ischemia" were determined, most informative of them being the malleolus index and oxygen pressure on the foot. An analysis of results of the investigation in the dynamics of the treatment performed has shown possible effectiveness of restorative operations in treatment of patients with severe stages of chronic arterial insufficiency.

Article Synopsis
  • PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) can lead to Critical Ischemia (CI) of the Lower Limbs, often resulting in amputation, and Infrared Thermography (IT) is a non-invasive method to assess skin temperature for guiding amputation levels.
  • A study conducted between April and November 2023 at Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal evaluated patients with PAD and CI in preoperative stages, utilizing IT to monitor thermal gradients.
  • Findings indicated that smoking patients exhibited greater thermal gradients and were more inclined to require above-the-knee amputations, demonstrating IT's effectiveness in the preoperative assessment of amputation levels.

Ischemic monomelic neuropathy following arteriovenous fistula surgery: a case report.

J Yeungnam Med Sci

November 2024

Department of Internal Medicine and Biomedical Research Institute, Pusan National University Hospital, Busan, Korea.

Ischemic monomelic neuropathy (IMN) is an uncommon complication of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) surgery that presents with pain, motor weakness, and sensory changes without critical ischemia. This report describes a rare case of successful IMN treatment after AVF surgery. A 61-year-old man with diabetic end-stage kidney disease was admitted for left brachiocephalic AVF surgery.
