Young patients without prior vascular disease are at increased risk of limb loss and reintervention after acute limb ischemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The objective of the present study was to categorize the presentation and treatment of acute limb ischemia (ALI) in young patients and compare the adverse outcomes after revascularization compared with that of older patients.

Methods

All the patients who had presented to a multi-institution healthcare system with ALI from 2016 to 2020 were identified. The presenting features, operative details, and outcomes were included in the present analysis. Patients with existing peripheral arterial disease (acute on chronic) were analyzed separately from those without (de novo thrombosis or embolus). Within these groups, younger patients (age, ≤50 years) were compared with older patients (age, >50 years). The 3-month major adverse limb event-free survival was the primary out
