There are two components to the reperfusion syndrome, which follows extremity ischemia.
The local response, which follows reperfusion, consists of limb swelling with its potential for …

The management of an acutely ischemic extremity requires knowledge of the response of
skeletal muscle (the largest component of the lower limb) to prolonged periods of complete …

Characterization of ischemia-reperfusion injury of skeletal muscle remains poorly defined. A
new quantitative assay to measure ischemic skeletal muscle injury is described and …

A retrospective review was undertaken of 127 lower extremity fasciotomies performed for
compartment syndrome after acute ischemia and revascularization in 73 patients with …

• Our experience with 739 patients with lower extremity thromboembolism since the advent
of the balloon catheter has led us to several important observations:(1) As the etiology has …

Background Management of acute leg ischaemia has changed in recent years. This study
aimed to elucidate current practice throughout the UK and Ireland. Methods Surgeons and …

Retrospective study of 140 consecutive cases of nontraumatic acute ischemia of the
extremities of 48 hours or less duration emphasizes differences in diagnostic features …

Acute arterial obstruction to the extremities is associated with significant morbidity and
mortality. The evaluation of accompanying skeletal muscle injury has thus far been indirect …

Occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery by thromboembolism is an uncommon cause of
acute intestinal ischemia but carries a high mortality. This report describes a case of …

• The mechanisms of ischemia-reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle remain controversial.
Some investigators have demonstrated that heparin can ameliorate ischemic injury to heart …
