title: [Management of acute arterial occlusion of limbs: an analysis of 105 cases].
abstract: 105 cases of acute arterial occlusion of limbs were admitted to our hospital from march 1982 to September 1996. We compared the treatment results of the patients with acute embolism and acute thrombosis. The limb-salvage rate of 86.8% in patients with embolic occlusion was higher than that of 57.9% in patients with thrombotic occlusion (P < 0.01), while the mortality rate of 8% patients associated with thrombosis was lower than that of 15.7% with embolism (P < 0.01). The results of limb salvage and mortality were related to different etiology of acute arterial occlusion, embolism and thrombosis.
