  • Title: Gas gangrene in patient with atherosclerosis obliterans.
    Author: Niimi M, Ikeda Y, Kan S, Takami H.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2002 Jun; 10(2):178-80. PubMed ID: 12079950.
    Abstract:
    Clostridia are the main cause of nontraumatic spontaneous gas gangrene. Poor blood flow due to arterial occlusion exacerbates the anaerobic condition. Fulminant gas gangrene in a 54-year-old man with atherosclerosis obliterans was treated by revascularization of the iliac artery using endarterectomy, and his gangrenous lower leg was amputated. However, he died from renal failure.
