Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'm asking, what would happen if there is an arterial embolism in the lower limbs?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of lower limb arterial thrombosis are relatively urgent. Due to symptoms such as leg pallor, absence of pulse, abnormal skin sensation, numbness, and limited mobility caused by arterial embolism, an urgent treatment plan is required to alleviate the patient. Anticoagulation, thrombolysis, and emergency surgery are necessary. For example, low molecular weight heparin will be used for anticoagulation, administered twice tomorrow, with each dose being 100 U/kg, and subcutaneous injection will be performed. Urokinase is used for thrombolysis. Surgical options include thrombectomy via arterial catheterization under the guidance of the finger or small incision thrombectomy.
