Leg pain is wrong. When lumbar spondylosis is carried hard for 10 days, the 70s of the elderly thrombus runs to the legs and almost amputation

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client July 12 (Correspondent Liu Shanshan) 72 -year -old Grandpa Yang's leg pain mistakenly thought it was lumbar spondylosis. He carried it hard at home for 10 days. Purple flower spots appear, and it will be amputated after a while. Vascular surgery experts urgently performed hybridization for it and successfully saved their legs.

When Grandpa Yang, who lives in Hankou, went out to bend 10 days ago, walked a few hundred meters and felt numbness in his left leg. He mistakenly thought that it was lumbar spondylosis. When the leg pain is unbearable, take painkillers. Whoever expected that the pain gradually worsen, from the beginning of walking with pain, developing into a static dysfunction, it hurts to sleep on the bed at night. Grandpa Yang couldn't stand it. Then he hurried to the Wuhan Central Hospital for treatment.

Vascular surgery experts are performing surgery for patients.

Hu Min, deputy chief physician of vascular surgery, found that the entire left leg of the elderly was cold, no temperature, and purple spots appeared in the skin. This was a manifestation of severe ischemia in the lower limbs. The doctor combined with his medical history and color Doppler ultrasound examination, and diagnosed with left lower limb arterial embolism with thrombosis. If you come later, you must face the risk of amputation. Because the patient is dragged too long at home, if the traditional surgical cutting arteries are used directly at this time, it is equivalent to "blindness", which is likely to be unclean. Finally, after fully communicating with Grandpa Yang's family, Hu Min, deputy chief physician of vascular surgery, and Zhang Yuanhao, the attending physician, performed emergency surgery for the elderly in the hybrid operating room. During the operation, it was found that because Grandpa Yang had been dragging at home for too long, the thrombus had become very hard, and the surgical bolt was very difficult. The doctor carefully operated. After two hours of intense surgery, he successfully took out the dark red thrombus from Grandpa Yang's legs. The old man's original ischemic left leg restored the temperature, and his left leg finally kept.

He Tao, director of the vascular surgery of the hospital, introduced that Grandpa Yang was lucky and successfully saved his legs after timely surgery. In clinical practice, some patients often encounter some patients with wrong legs as lumbar spondylosis. As a result, because of missing the best treatment time, leading to amputation. The root cause of Grandpa Yang's lower limb arterial embolism is atrial fibrillation. The heart content of these patients is easy to form thrombosis. Once the thrombosis falls off, it will walk around the blood flow, which can easily cause embolism, such as myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, lower limb arterial embolism, etc. Essence And this time, Grandpa Yang's thrombus traveled to the lower limbs.

Experts remind that there are long -term smoking history, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, etc., especially the history of atrial fibrillation disease. It is a high -risk group of lower limb arterial embolism. Patients with atrial fibrillation can usually take anticoagulant drugs to control thrombosis. When the cold and pain of the lower limbs and the symptoms of the lameness should be visited in time when the symptoms of lameness should be visited to avoid severe consequences such as amputation due to missing lower limb ischemia.
