In Vladivostok, doctors saved a 74-year-old woman from having both her legs amputated. The patient was referred to the hospital with numbness in the left leg and intense cold in the right leg. The examination showed a dangerous circulatory disorder: the pulse in one leg was barely palpable and absent in the other leg. The doctors diagnosed a rare bilateral aortic thrombosis with spread to the iliac arteries. Such vascular damage requires complex surgical intervention. The operation to remove blood clots lasted 2.5 hours. Thanks to the work of vascular surgeons, blood circulation in both legs was completely restored. Now the patient is recovering, and the threat of amputation has passed.
