Abstract
Introduction: Arterial vascular occlusion can be caused by an embolus or acute thrombosis. Acute arterial occlusion can be induced by iatrogenic damage, such as that produced by the insertion of invasive catheters used for arteriography. It can occur as a result of PTA or stent implantation, the use of an intraaortic balloon pump, or IV drug addiction. Other causes include fractures, crush injuries, and penetrating wounds that change the intima of the artery. Reliable identification of an arterial blockage as embolic or thrombotic in origin is necessary to begin appropriate therapy.
