AB Most  vascular  emergencies  are  due  to  either  disruption  of  the  blood  vessel  wall  with  bleeding  (eg,  from  penetrating  trauma)  or  to  occlusion  of  the  blood  vessel  lumen  (eg,  by  an  embolus  or  thrombus).  The  major  consequences  of  these  events  are  blood  loss  or  acute  distal  ischemia.  If  vascular  injury  is  untreated,  hypotension  or  tissue  necrosis  may  occur.
