ABSTRACT

We here report the case of a 30-year-old woman presenting with acute coronary syndrome complicated by acute ischemia of the left upper limb. She underwent Fogarty thrombectomy via humeral approach, with uncomplicated postoperative course. Given the rarity of non-traumatic acute upper limb ischemia, this case highlights the importance of diagnosis and management of acute coronary syndromes to prevent potential complications that may threaten both functional and vital prognosis.
