The prognosis for arterial thrombosis is poor and is generally related to the timing of the patient’s visit to the clinic, and to the site of the embolism. Arterial thrombosis, usually referred to as acute arterial embolism, originates from a thrombus near the heart, or proximal atherosclerotic plaque detachment, with blood flow to the distal end of the artery blockage caused by acute ischemia. Clinical symptoms may include pain, numbness, and movement disorders, and in severe cases, may lead to tissue and organ necrosis, resulting in amputation or even death. Treatment is usually based on surgery, first of all, anticoagulation should be used to avoid aggravation of thrombosis, commonly used procedures include arterial catheter thrombectomy, arterial cannulation thrombolysis and osteofascial compartment dissection, and it is recommended that the patient consult the doctor in a timely manner, to avoid the delay resulting in adverse conditions. Once patients have symptoms of arterial thrombosis, they should be diagnosed and treated under the guidance of a doctor to avoid aggravating the symptoms and causing serious consequences.
