Fig 1 Level of aortic occlusion. The gray represents the segment of abdominal aorta occluded by thrombus or embolus diagnosed by computed tomography angiography (CTA), duplex ultrasound, or angiography. Internal iliac arteries were occluded bilaterally in 12 patients, unilateral occlusion present in 5, and patent in 7 patients. Patency could not be assessed in five patients. SMA, Superior mesenteric artery. Original figure created by Victor W. Wong.
