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.

PlumX Metrics

PlumX Metrics  provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Examples include, when research is mentioned in the news or is tweeted about. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
