Simultaneous loss of upper extremity pulses, excluding shock, is present in clinical pictures like aortic dissection (type 1 sec. De Backey), but remarkably in Takayasu's arteritis, named pulseless disease. We describe a case of loss of upper extremities pulses secondary to bilateral simultaneous artery embolization during atrial fibrillation.
