Endovascular Management of Acute Lower Limb Ischemia Linked to Cocaine Abuse: A Case Report

Acceso Abierto

Abstract:

Cocaine abuse is a public health concern with well-documented cardiovascular complications. However, acute limb ischemia remains a rare and underreported consequence. We present a case of a 36-year-old man with acute right lower limb ischemia following heavy cocaine use, successfully managed with systemic heparin and intra-arterial nitroglycerin. The case highlights considering cocaine as a potential cause of acute limb ischemia and the efficacy of endovascular therapy. Further case reports with this diagnosis and their management are crucial for establishing the best strategies and improving outcomes in these scenarios.
