Acute Limb Ischemia and Coronary Artery Disease in a Case of Kimura’s Disease
Kimura disease (KD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. KD has many complications associated with hypereosinophilia, including various forms of allergic reactions and eosinophilic lung disease. Additionally, hypereosinophilia is associated with hypercoagulabilit...

| description | Kimura disease (KD) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. KD has
many complications associated with hypereosinophilia, including various forms of allergic reactions and eosinophilic
lung disease. Additionally, hypereosinophilia is associated with hypercoagulability, which may lead to
thromboembolic events. A 36-year-old man with KD presented with acute limb ischemia and coronary artery
occlusion. He underwent thrombectomy, partial endarterectomy of both popliteal arteries, and coronary artery
stent insertion. KD is a systemic disease that affects many organs and presents with thromboembolism and
vasculitis. In a patient with KD, physicians should evaluate the vascular system, including the coronary arteries. |
