Solution

The most frequent causes of acute limb ischemia are both A. Embolization and B. Acute arterial thrombosis. These two are the most common causes, accounting for up to 90% of cases.

Embolization occurs when a blood clot or other substance has been carried in the bloodstream from another part of the body (like the heart) to the limb.

Acute arterial thrombosis, on the other hand, is a blood clot that forms directly in the arteries of the limb.

C. Vascular trauma and D. PTS (Post-Thrombotic Syndrome) can also cause acute limb ischemia, but they are less common causes.
