Abstract

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication (IC) may be difficult to diagnose in elderly patients, as these patients arerelatively immobile. Those elder patients without any previous history are often admitted to the emergency departments with sudden-onsetcritical limb ischemia (CLI) symptoms. Radiological tests in the emergency department may sometimes be suboptimal or interpretedincorrectly. Consideration of metabolic complications that may occur during the long revascularization period may also result in easiersacrifice of the extremity. A nonagenarian female patient was admitted to the emergency department with CLI, and the absence of thedistal popliteal run-off was observed on computed tomography angiography. Her limb was salvaged upon a surprisingly strong intention forrevascularization, as she did not give her consent for amputation. This case report highlights that the radiological findings should not alwaysbe credited, particularly in the emergency setting.

Özet

Yaşlı hastalarda periferik arter hastalığı (PAH) ve intermitan klodikasyonun (İK) teşhis edilmesi, bu hastalar nispeten daha hareketsiz olduğu için güç bir hal alabilmektedir. Geçmiş öyküsü olmayan bu yaşlı hastalar çoğu kez aniden gelişen kritik bacak iskemisi (KBİ) semptomları ile acil servise başvurmaktadırlar. Acil serviste yapılan radyolojik tetkikler kimi zaman istenen düzeyde olmayabilmekte veya yanlış yorumlanabilmektedir. Yaşlı hastalarda revaskülarizasyon için geçen uzun sürede gelişebilecek metabolik komplikasyonlar da düşünülerek ekstremite daha kolay feda edilebilmektedir. Doksanlı yaşlarda kadın hasta KBİ tanısı ile acil servise başvurdu ve bilgisayarlı tomografi anjiyografide distal popliteal akımının olmadığı izlendi. Hastanın ampütasyon için rıza göstermemesi üzerine yapılan revaskülarizasyon sonucunda hastanın bacağı sürpriz bir biçimde kurtuldu. Bu olgu sunumu, özellikle acil şartlarda radyolojik bulgulara her zaman itibar edilmemesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
