2016 AHA/ACC Guideline on the Management of Patients With Lower Extremity Peripheral Artery Disease[1]
Recommendations for Management of Acute Limb Ischemia (ALI)
Recommendations for Clinical Presentation of ALI:
Class I |
"1. Patients with ALI should be emergently evaluated by a clinician with sufficient experience to assess limb viability and implement appropriate therapy. (Level of Evidence: C-EO)" |
"2. In patients with suspected ALI, initial clinical evaluation should rapidly assess limb viability and potential for salvage and does not require imaging. (Level of Evidence: C-LD)" |
Recommendation for Medical Therapy of ALI:
Class I |
"1. In patients with ALI, systemic anticoagulation with heparin should be administered unless contraindicated. (Level of Evidence: C-EO)" |
Recommendations for Revascularization for ALI:
Class I |
"1. In patients with ALI, the revascularization strategy should be determined by local resources and patient factors (e.g., etiology and degree of ischemia).(Level of Evidence: C-LD)" |
"2.Catheter-based thrombolysis is effective for patients with ALI and a salvageable limb. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
"3.Amputation should be performed as the first procedure in patients with a non salvageable limb. (Level of Evidence: C-LD)" |
"4.Patients with ALI should be monitored and treated (e.g., fasciotomy) for compartment syndrome after revascularization. (Level of Evidence: C-LD)" |
Class IIa |
"1. In patients with ALI with a salvageable limb, percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy can be useful as adjunctive therapy to thrombolysis. (Level of Evidence: B-NR)" |
"2.In patients with ALI due to embolism and with a salvageable limb, surgical thromboembolectomy can be effective.(Level of Evidence: C-LD)" |
Class IIb |
"1. The usefulness of ultrasound-accelerated catheter-based thrombolysis for patients with ALI with a salvageable limb is unknown. (Level of Evidence: C-LD)" |
Recommendations for Diagnostic Evaluation of the Cause of ALI:
Class I |
"1. In the patient with ALI, a comprehensive history should be obtained to determine the cause of thrombosis and/or embolization.(Level of Evidence: C-EO)" |
Class IIa |
"1. In the patient with a history of ALI, testing for a cardiovascular cause of thromboembolism can be useful. (Level of Evidence: C-EO)" |
