Abstract
Managing a patient with a vascular surgical emergency can be challenging. Often a patient will have multiple comorbidities, an extensive surgical history, and a lengthy medication list including novel anticoagulation and antiplatelet agents. Even if managed in a timely fashion, vascular emergencies can lead to significant and long-term morbidity or mortality.
