Acute Limb Ischemia and Coronary Artery Disease in a Case of Kimura’s Disease

Abstract: Kimura disease (KD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. KD has many complications associated with hypereosinophilia, including various forms of allergic reactions and eosinophilic lung disease. Additionally, hypereosinophilia is associated with hypercoagulability, which may lead to thromboembolic events. A 36-year-old man with KD presented with acute limb ischemia and coronary artery occlusion. He underwent thrombectomy, partial endarterectomy of both popliteal arteries, and… Show more

“…Based on recent studies, peripheral arterial disorder is the main factor in the progression of hind limb ischemia (HLI). Chronic and acute arterial occlusions are caused primarily by occlusive arterial diseases and could block the blood perfusion into the limbs, as well as related tissues and organs ( Heo et al, 2017 ). During the ischemia pathogenesis, decreasing the hypoxic cell’s metabolism, increasing the level of intracellular free radicals, and forming a stressful inflammatory network in the ischemic tissue microenvironment can negatively disturb the cellular population’s viability and function ( Khodayari et al, 2019 ).…”

“…It had been reported that eosinophils contain various amounts of tissue factor (TF) and some researchers had concluded that relatively high TF in patients with hypereosinophilia might lead to an increased thrombotic risk [ 8 ]. A patient with KD was reported to be complicated with acute limb ischemia and coronary artery disease [ 9 ]. The D-dimer in the patient we reported was at a high level.…”
