Ostruzione arteriosa
Ostruzione arteriosa periferica si verifica quando il flusso ematico è interrotta in una particolare zona del corpo per varie ragioni, come trombosi, trauma, aneurisma, vasculite, malattia degenerativa ... Tra i fattori di rischio che possono predisporre un ostacolo o occlusione arteriosa sono ipertensione, diabete mellito, o dislipidemia (aumento del grasso nel sangue). Inoltre, ostruzione può essere classificata in due modi: arteriosa cronica acuta e subacuta rispetto al tempo della costituzione della clinica; e completa, incompleta o irreversibile, seconda la vitalità del tessuto colpito. Clinicamente, un ostruzione arteriosa si manifesta con dolore, impulsi diminuiti, pallore, cianosi (colore bluastro della pelle), rigidità muscolare e cancrena. Per la diagnosi di queste condizioni, è molto importante l'esame fisico del paziente, e il trattamento può essere medico o chirurgico, a seconda dei casi.
