A 59-year-old male patient was admitted to Emergency Room with acute onset of lower backache, bilateral lower limb weakness, intense pain, and paraesthesia with inability to walk for preceding six hours with no history of trauma. He was a reformed smoker with a sedentary life style as a carom player and had dyslipidaemia but was not on any medications. After initial evaluation a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral spine was done which showed no evidence of compressive myelopathy. Shortly afterwards he developed dyspnoea and excruciating bilateral lower limb pain for which he was transferred to our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for further management. Careful prodding revealed that patient had an unevaluated bilateral intermittent lower limb pain on exertion since last six months. On clinical examination patient had body mass index of 27.68 kg/m 2 . Heart Rate (HR) of 140/minute, non invasive blood pressure of 150/90 mmHg with absent bilateral femoral and distal lower limb pulsations while other pulsations were normal. Patient had a Respiratory Rate (RR) of 34/minute with orthopnoea, bilateral basal crepitations and 95% Oxygen Saturation (SpO 2 ) on four litres oxygen by facemask. Both the lower limbs were cold with motor power of 0/5 at bilateral hip joints and distally with absent deep tendon reflexes but a detailed neurological exam could not be performed. Electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia with ST segment depression in inferolateral leads. Bedside two-dimensional echocardiogram showed global hypokinesia with left ventricular ejection fraction of 25% with a normal sized right atria and right ventricle. Routine blood investigations showed mild leucocytosis with a normal haemoglobin, renal and liver function tests. Cardiac biomarkers Creatine Kinase (CK-MB): 29.2 ng/ml. Troponin-I: 1.2 ng/ml, Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP): 1230 pg/ml and D-Dimer: 3590 ng/ml were elevated. He was stabilized with non invasive ventilation, antiplatelets, statins, loop diuretics, Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) and intravenous nitroglycerine. An urgent CT aortogram was done which showed complete occlusion of infra renal aorta, proximal segment of both common iliac arteries and origin of internal mesenteric artery with partial thrombosis of mid-distal segment of both common iliac, external iliac, internal iliac and both common femoral arteries along with bilateral wedge renal and splenic infarct [Table/ Fig-1,2].In view of acute onset atherosclerotic long segment thrombus, surgical intervention was planned. The patient underwent emergency bilateral trans-femoral embolectomy and about 20 cm long thrombus with diffuse atherosclerosis was removed [Table/ Fig-3]. Postoperatively patient was shifted back to ICU and examination showed warm and re-perfused bilateral lower limbs with definite distal pulses but persistent motor and sensory loss. Antiplatelets and LMWH were continued along with Inj. piperacillintazobactum 4.5 gm intravenously in thrice daily dosing. Adequate hydration, urine output was maintained post...
