Description
Jing Wang, Jing Li, Xuemin Zhang, Xiaoming Zhang, and Tao Zhang report an elderly man left weak in one leg after a leg artery procedure. The treatment had reopened narrowed leg arteries, a common fix for poor circulation. Paralysis after it is rare and usually blamed on the spine or brain. Here the cause hid in a pelvic artery.
The patient, aged eighty-six, had worsening leg pain and a toe ulcer. Surgeons cleared clots and widened arteries in both legs. An hour later his left leg lost nearly all strength and feeling below the calf. Scans cleared the spine and brain, then pointed to a fresh blockage in the internal iliac artery. Urgent clot removal restored flow and much of his strength. Further surgery and a month of rehab followed.
