title: Effects of acute lower limb ischemia on femoral venous efflux.
abstract: Revascularization of an acutely ischemic limb may lead to the development of a reperfusion syndrome, characterized by acidosis, hyperkalemia, myoglobinuria, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. The authors evaluated the components of the femoral venous efflux after reperfusion of an acutely ischemic limb in both an experimental model and in a small clinical series.
