A member asked:
In what way is an arterial occlusion in the arm treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on symptoms: If the occlusion has been present for a long time, and you have no problems in your hand, no treatment may be needed. If, on the other hand, a clot has lodged in the artery and your hand is cold and painful, surgery may be needed to remove it.
