Objective:To observe and compare the clinical characteristics of acute arterial embolism of lower extremity(AAELE)
and acute arterial thrombosis (AAT).Methods:The clinical data of 75 patients with AAELE or AAT in our hospital January 2013 to
November 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, the patients were divided into AAELE group 53 cases and AAT group 22 cases according
to the angiographic results. Compared the obstruction sites and disease locations in two groups, as well as counted and analyzed their
complications and disease history, and recorded the clinical manifestations and the degree of ischemia.Results:The incidence rate of
iliacofemoralis arteria obstruction in AAELE group was 54.72%, which was significantly higher than 27.27% in AAT group, the
difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence rates of atrial fibrillation and embolism history in AAELE group were
67.92%, 24.53%, which were significantly higher than 22.73%, 0.00% in AAT group respectively, while the incidence rates of
hypertension, diabetes mellitus and smoking history were 50.94%, 28.30%, 35.85%, which were significantly lower than 86.36% ,
72.73%, 72.73% in AAT group respectively, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The incidence rates of abnormal
sensation, dyskinesia, lateral artery pulsation and IIb degree of ischemia in AAELE group were 86.79%, 64.15%, 81.13% and 54.72%,
which were significantly higher than 63.64%, 27.27%, 31.82% and 27.27% in AAT group respectively, while the incidence rates of
intermittent claudication and IIa degree of ischemia were 24.53%, 33.96%, which were significantly lower than 63.64%, 63.64%in AAT
group respectively, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).Conclusion:The differences of clinical manifestations,
obstruction sites, complications and disease history and the degree of ischemia exist between AAELE and AAT, it is helpful to judge the
patient's condition accurately base on grasping of those differences in clinical practice, which is worth to pay attention. |
