Definition ØEmbolus : Is an abnormal mass of undissolved material which is transported in the circulation from one part to another. ØThrombus : Is thrombotic lesion occurs on a plaque of pre-existing atheroma ending with complete acute occlusion of the artery. M. A. Kubtan 3

Embolic Occlusion Ø It is often a thrombus that has become detached from the Lt Atrium in cardiac arrhythemia ( atrial fibrellation , or mural thrombus following myocardial infarction. Ø Less common are aneurysm and thrombi formed on atheromatous plaques causing artery to artery embolism. M. A. Kubtan 5

Clinical features of Arterial Occlusion It is an emergency and requires immediate treatment ØLeg

Clinical features of Arterial Occlusion It is an emergency and requires immediate treatment ØLeg >>>> pain , pallor >>>> parisis >>>> pulslessness , paraesthesia ( anaesthesia ). ØThe limb is cold and toes cannot be moved in contrast with venous occlusion when muscle function is not affected. ØThe diagnosis can be made on clinical bases. ØSymptoms may progress to complete loss of function , coldness and mottling. M. A. Kubtan 6

Types of embolism and complications ØCompartment syndrome. ØIntra-arterial thrombosis. ØMesenteric artery occlusion. ØAir embolism.
