What is a distal aortic occlusion?

Aortoiliac occlusive disease, also known as Leriche syndrome, refers to complete occlusion of the aorta distal to the renal arteries.

What is aortic occlusive?

Aortic occlusive disease occurs when blood flow in the aorta is blocked. There are many different health conditions that can cause blockages in the aorta. Aortic occlusive disease can slow or block blood flow to the body’s major organs and cause a number of serious health issues.

What is the meaning of occlusive arterial disease?

Arterial occlusive disease is a condition in which the arteries throughout the body gradually become narrowed. It can affect arms and legs. Often, patients who suffer from lower extremity arterial occlusive disease also have other conditions, such as carotid artery disease and heart disease.

What is the most common cause of arterial occlusive disease?

Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of chronic arterial occlusive disease of the lower extremities. The arterial narrowing or obstruction that occurs as a result of the atherosclerotic process reduces blood flow to the lower limb during exercise or at rest.

What is Iliofemoral occlusive?

Keywords: Endovascular procedure, Femoropopliteal bypass, Iliofemoral occlusive disease. Peripheral vascular disease is a manifestation of generalized atherosclerosis; it affects 10% to 30% of the adult population in the United States. Most patients with disabling symptoms have multilevel arterial occlusive disease.

Is aortoiliac occlusive disease life threatening?

Similar to other arterial diseases, aortoiliac occlusive disease obstructs blood flow to distal organs through narrowed lumens or by embolization of plaques. The presentation of AOID can range from asymptomatic to limb-threatening emergencies.

What is Iliofemoral disease?

Where is the distal aorta?

The descending aorta extends from the area distal to the left subclavian artery to the 12th intercostal space. Initially, the descending aorta lies in the posterior mediastinum to the left of the course of the vertebral column.

What is an early symptom of arterial occlusive disease?

Pain in the calves or thighs while walking is the most common symptom of lower extremity occlusive disease. Some people may also experience numbness, weakness, or cold in the feet or legs. As the disease progresses, pain may also be felt at rest in the toes and ulcers may develop.

Which symptom is noted with occlusive arterial disease?

Sudden, complete blockage of an artery in a leg or an arm may cause severe pain, coldness, and numbness in the affected limb. The person’s leg or arm is either pale or bluish (cyanotic). No pulse can be felt below the blockage. The sudden, drastic decrease in blood flow to the limb is a medical emergency.
