Abstract
Arterial and vascular emergencies are important to recognize because they have a significant effect on the acute care patients in the emergency room. This chapter discusses both the urgent and chronic conditions, which can have serious complications such as rupture or end-organ infarction. The most commonly encountered problems are aortic aneurysms, aortic dissection, and arterial occlusion. The less common conditions include subclavian steal syndrome, aortoenteric fistula, chronic mesenteric ischemia, and mycotic aneurysms. Both CT and MRI are important in the initial diagnosis and the management of patients in the emergency department.
