“…Vasospasm is a condition characterized by the sudden constriction of blood vessels, which can cause reduced blood flow to vital organs and tissues. Pain is often associated with vasospasm, as the reduced blood flow can cause tissue damage and inflammation (14,15). Depression, anxiety, and stress are known to increase the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, which can promote inflammation and blood vessel constriction (16).…”

This case report discusses an elderly male patient (86 years old), suffering from limb pain related to ulcers in the lower limbs resulting from peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Clinically evaluated with the aid of infrared thermal imaging before, during and after treatment, he was submitted to treatment with neuromodulation protocols with REAC Technology, Neuro Postural Optimization (NPO) and Neuropsychophysical Optimization (NPPO) in association with traditional treatments for PAD. It was followed clinically with the aid of infrared thermal imaging of the lower limbs before, during and after treatment. He had a clinical result with a significant reduction in pain and infrared thermal images with complete revascularization of both feet. Evidencing that the treatment of dysfunctional adaptive responses by managing psychological factors often associated with anxiety, depression and stress performed by the REAC NPO and NPPO protocols can be a useful intervention to improve symptoms of patients with lower limb pain and circulatory disturbances.

“…Estos últimos pueden originarse en zonas de estenosis preexistentes o asociarse a intervencionismo endovascular, mientras que los eventos embólicos se originan en cavidades cardiacas hasta en un 85 % de los casos. Por otra parte, sitios infrecuentes de embolia a considerar son las dilataciones aneurismáticas aórticas, poplíteas, abdominales o embolia paradójica relacionada con comunicaciones cardiacas anormales (2)(3)(4) . Sin embargo, resulta de vital importancia tener en cuenta que la aorta es la fuente del 5 % de todos los casos de embolia y se relaciona frecuentemente con ateroesclerosis, factores de riesgo trombótico o instrumentación traumática (5) .…”

Introducción: la isquemia arterial aguda se reconoce como un síndrome clínico potencialmente mortal relacionado con trombosis o embolia sistémica. La aorta es la fuente del 5 % de todos los casos de embolia y suele relacionarse con factores de riesgo ateroescleróticos. Actualmente no existen guías unificadas que establezcan el tratamiento óptimo de esta entidad. Presentación del caso: masculino de 70 años, con antecedente de tabaquismo, acude al servicio de urgencias por 2 meses de dolor en miembros inferiores, parestesias, palidez, frialdad. Se documenta una isquemia arterial aguda, se inicia anticoagulación y se lleva a trombólisis de vasos poplíteos, posteriormente presenta múltiples eventos embólicos, se documenta la presencia de una placa ulcerada en aorta con un gran trombo móvil, se platea terapia híbrida (endovascular y cirugía abierta), sin embargo, desarrolla nuevas embolias y muere. Conclusiones: la aorta debe considerarse como fuente embólica, debe realizarse un enfoque diagnóstico juicioso y establecer una adecuada indicación de anticoagulación e intervención quirúrgica apropiada.

“…Clinical events that cause ALI include acute thrombosis of a limb artery or bypass graft, embolism from the heart, or a diseased artery, dissection, and trauma (from the severing of an artery or thrombosis) [1][2]. There is, however, a growing list of uncommon causes of ALI, which include aortic intimal sarcoma [3], popliteal artery entrapment syndrome [4], and prolonged arterial vasospasm of multiple vessels in multiple extremities simultaneously [5].…”

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) can occur due to many causes. This article illustrates a novel case of a very rare presentation and etiology of acute lower extremity ischemia. This case involves a middle-aged female with a history of smoking and obesity who presented with right lower extremity (RLE) pain. The patient had undergone a liposuction procedure a few days prior to her presentation and had been wearing a waist training corset. The patient was found to have multivessel thrombotic occlusive plaques starting from the right common iliac to the right tibial arteries. She was fully worked up and no other etiologies of her presentation was found. Thus, we concluded that her presentation was very likely precipitated by wearing the training corset, leading to right iliac artery thrombosis or perhaps a formal iliac atherosclerotic plaque destabilization and ipsilateral limb showering with athero-thrombi.
