| Abstract | Introduction: Septic thromboemboli have two consequences, ischemic and infection. In this paper we discuss a case with acute lower limb ischemia caused by fungal infective atrial thrombus. The patient underwent an anticoagulant therapy. Case presentation:???????????????? A 43-year-old female patient who suffered from valvular heart disease (history of mitral and tricuspid valve replacement) was referred to the vascular surgery department of Modarres hospital with acute left limb ischemia. She underwent a successful emergency surgical thrombectomy. The pathological report of thrombus demonstrated fungal infection. ?Conclusion: After surgical thrombectomy to control the acute lower limb ischemia, antimicrobial treatment of septic emboli is necessary. | en |
