Limb embolism

Arterial embolism refers to a pathological process in which emboli fall off the heart or the proximal arterial wall, or enter the artery from the outside, and are pushed to the far side by the blood flow, blocking the arterial blood flow and causing ischemia to necrosis of the limbs or internal organs. During peripheral arterial embolization, pain, paleness, disappearance of distant arterial pulsations, coldness, numbness, and dyskinesia occur in the affected limb. The onset of this disease is rapid, and the limbs and life are threatened after the onset of the disease. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential.
