A member asked:
History of open brachial artery thombolectomy for upper arm ischemia following procedure. i read that the overall 5-year survival 37%. ? is that true and why would that be? on plavix and aspirin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The overall prognosis depends on the condition which causes the arterial occlusion but not from the arterial occlusion by itself. I am not sure what the mortality rate you are talking about based on what condition. What is your underlying disease and what the procedure they did? Did you have a procedure for a shunt in the upper arm or in your heart then it's complicated with thrombosis down stream

Good evening doctors. I am on Plavix & 81mg aspirin. I seem to be extremely prone to purple bruises--three on my left arm now, one rather large one on the underside of my arm. How do I know if the bruises are or are not because of the Plavix& aspirin?
