case_images: She had the appearance of ischemia due to embolization to the finger tips, and these became gangrenous over the next 4-6 weeks and progressed with some degree of autolysis (Figure 1).
case_images: Patient 1: Left upper limb angiogram showing embolization to distal forearm vessels.

case_images: Magnetic resonance (MR) angiography showed no proximal lesions but revealed severe forearm embolization along both radial and ulnar arteries (Figure 2).

case_images: Because of the recurrent nature of her presentation, she was investigated further with a transthoracic echocardiogram, which showed no intracardiac thrombus, and MR angiography, which demonstrated thrombus at the level of the axillary artery (Figure 4), suggesting that there may have been embolization from this thrombotic lesion.
