Abstract
A case is reported of successful aortic embolectomy, carried out within several hrs. after embolism had occurred. The transabdominal approach was used and anticoagulants were instituted immediately following the operation. Postoperatively, repeated caudal blocks were performed because the circulation in the left leg was precarious. Since the temporary response to such a procedure was good, a lumbar sympathectomy was carried out. Follow-up examinations over a period of 22 months postoperatively revealed no further change in the state of the lower extremities.Keywords
