*The 21 patients were male, and 13 patients were female. The 20 patients (3 above the arm ischemia, 10 below the elbow ischemia and 7 from below the wrist ischemia) suffered from upper extremity ischemia and 14 patients (2 above the knee ischemia, 7 below the knee ischemia and 5 the ankle ischemia) suffered from lower extremity ischemia.
