• For a patient with acute ischaemia of the upper limb, conservative treatment with anticoagulation alone is not recommended if the arm is threatened, or if limb function is important to quality of life.
• Prophylactic fasciotomy is seldom indicated, but if the arm has been ischaemic for many hours and swells considerably after successful embolectomy, fasciotomy is indicated.
• If it is indicated, volar fasciotomy is suggested, but concurrent dorsal fasciotomy is also recommended by some authors (Fig. 13).
