Patient's question:
Yesterday, I had planned to meet up with a few old friends, but one of them suddenly got hospitalized, so we couldn't gather. Today, I quickly went to see what was going on. Upon arriving at the hospital room, I found my friend getting an intravenous infusion. It turned out to be an iliac artery embolism. He was worried about when he might be able to leave the hospital. Is iliac artery embolism difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
General arterial embolism needs to be assessed based on the severity of the embolism and the symptoms presented. If it is particularly severe, surgical treatment may be required. For mild femoral artery embolism, medical anticoagulant treatment can be administered.Generally, patients with femoral artery embolism often have underlying primary diseases. Identifying the cause and then controlling it is the best treatment plan. In daily life, it is important to follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet, engage in appropriate exercise, and avoid prolonged sitting or standing.
