Core Tip

Core Tip: This report describes a case of sequential bowel necrosis and an unusually large gastric ulcer in a patient with a ruptured femoral artery. We present this case to emphasize the importance of monitoring the abdomen and staying alert for potential complications in severely ill patients with massive blood loss. Physicians should be aware of the possible serious complications of lesions in the abdomen, even if there are no obvious signs of trauma.
