Abstract:BACKGROUND
Surgery, which is a major risk factor for venous thrombosis, has rarely been considered a risk factor for arterial thrombosis. Recent studies have suggested that venous and arterial thromboses share common risk factors and have a bidirectional relationship. Accordingly, there is a growing interest in the risk of arterial thrombosis after surgery. We report a case of acute bilateral lower extremity arterial thromboses that developed after a prolonged surgery.
