Presentation
However, symptoms of claudication were present only in 1 case and clinical significant legs growth retardation (≥ 15 mm) was present in 1%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It's important that you don't wait and do treat these symptoms as an emergency. symptoms of a stroke Peripheral vascular disease If you have a narrowing of an artery in one or both of your legs (peripheral vascular disease) you may: be more susceptible [nhsinform.scot]
Author information 1 Department of Vascular Diseases, Ljubljana University Medical Centre, Ljubljana, Slovenia - [email protected] Abstract In the past, arterial and venous thrombosis have been accepted as two completely different diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

also known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD) – when the blood flow in the legs is affected Heart attack and stroke are leading causes of death in the UK. [your.md]
Musculoskeletal
- Leg Pain
The patient complained of acute leg pain after chemotherapy, and computed tomography revealed multiple thrombi from the thoracic to popliteal arteries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Hypercoagulability workup was negative. Pathology samples revealed vasculitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patients presenting with an incomplete occlusion are usually with systemic anticoagulation and a medical workup investigating the cause of the thrombosis [2]. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]
Autoimmune workup to look for vasculitis is reasonable if this workup is negative. Hypercoagulable workup should be really limited to the ones that cause arterial thrombosis – see below. II. [errolozdalga.com]
Treatment
Warfarin treatment was started in the level of INR 2-2,5. ASA with a dose of 100 mg/day was added to the treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
It is a dreaded complication and has a dismal prognosis if not promptly recognized and treated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Prognosis is severe in homozygous or compound heterozygous patients. Prognosis is good for heterozygous patients. With adequate treatment and monitoring, the risk of thromboembolic disease is markedly reduced. [orpha.net]
Prognosis The results from stenting procedures on the subclavian artery have documented an 87% patency rate after 3 years. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
In conclusion, this side effect of the use of thalidomide should be taken into consideration while doing examinations with respect to the etiology in arterial thromboembolism and because of this vascular complication that threatens life; we suggest stopping [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology Protein S deficiency is caused by mutations in the PROS1 gene (3q11-q11.2). Diagnostic methods Diagnosis is based on the measurement of protein S antigen levels (total protein S or free protein S) and anticoagulant activity. [orpha.net]
OVERVIEW OF ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME Etiologies: 1) Primary (Idiopathic) 2) Secondary – associated with Autoimmune Disorders (especially SLE), Malignancy (both solid and heme tumors), Infections (bacterial, virla, and parasites), and Drug Reactions Diagnostic [errolozdalga.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiological studies have detected elevated γA/γ' fibrinogen in patients with arterial thrombosis, suggesting that this isoform promotes thrombosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This section focuses on the role of atherosclerosis in the formation of arterial thrombi and discusses their risk factors, epidemiology and associated complications In this section: Arterial thrombi Risk factors Incidence and prevalence Complications [thrombosisadviser.com]
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiological studies indicated that etiopathogenetic mechanisms of both diseases are similar and that coagulation and platelet activation participate in both venous and arterial thrombogenesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] wound healing. 3 In addition, scientific development over the last 10 years indicates that the properties of the endothelium may even govern the physiological balance of haemostasis/fibrinolysis and that endothelial derangement can account for numerous pathophysiological [eurheartj.oxfordjournals.org]
In the progressed stage of our research. our focus was shifted to the pathophysiology of the ADAMTS13 molecule. [ginmu.naramed-u.ac.jp]
This is the typical pathophysiology behind MI, thrombotic CVA’s, etc. [errolozdalga.com]
The clot can then move to an artery and cause arterial embolisation. [2] Pathophysiology [ edit ] An arterial embolism is caused by one or more emboli getting stuck in an artery and blocking blood flow, causing ischemia, possibly resulting in infarction [en.wikipedia.org]
Prevention
In contrast, clopidogrel did not prevent coronary reocclusion and increased bleeding time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
