Abstract
It is imperative that the frontier care providers from internists and hospitalists are aware of the red flags associated with acute limb ischemia (ALI). To strategize a methodical approach for better clinical outcomes in ALI, a multidisciplinary collaboration involving internist, interventional radiologist and vascular surgeons are crucial, ideally within the first 6 hours of symptom onset. This case report discusses the clinical evaluation of a 74-years-old female presenting with ALI post an angioplasty procedure. We highlighted the clinical evaluation of ALI in respect to the importance of clinical examination, diagnostic and therapeutic imaging modalities. Additionally, we emphasized that the presentation of peripheral artery stent thrombosis in the acute setting of endovascular intervention is a serious complication that may lead to limb amputation.
