Bilateral acute limb ischemia complicating incessant supraventricular arrhythmias in wolff-parkinson-white syndrome: evaluating thromboprophylaxis across multiple cardioversions
Thromboprophylaxis in patients with structural heart disease and incessant arrhythmia must be carefully assessed. Incessant SVT alone does not justify early anticoagulation, but coexisting cardiomyopathy and repeated cardioversions increase thromboembolic risk. Identifying the underlying cause of structural abnormalities is essential to guide treatment and prevent severe complications. Delayed anticoagulation in the presence of undetected thrombus may result in irreversible events such as limb loss due to ALI.
