Catastrophic kidney infarction
A 62-year-old man with a history of stroke, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation not on anticoagulation presented with left lower extremity weakness and numbness and was found to have left lower extremity ischemia on examination. There was also evidence of acute kidney injury with a serum creatinine level of 2.1 mg/dl from 0.8 mg/dl at baseline. A computed tomography angiogram of the abdomen and pelvis with distal runoff revealed the occlusion of the left common femoral artery and right saphenofemoral artery.
