Arterial Palmar Arch Aneurysms Management: Case Series.

Abstract

IntroductionTrue aneurysms of the upper limb, particularly in the hands, are rare and challenging to manage. We aim to report two cases of true arterial palmar arch aneurysms surgically treated.Case ReportThe first case involved a 45-year-old male professional martial artist with an ulnar artery aneurysm extending to the superficial palmar arch in the right hand. The second case was a 32-year-old female administrative assistant with a radial artery aneurysm in the left hand. Despite their respective professions, neither patient had a history of significant trauma, recent excessive training, or prolonged work hours. Clinically, both presented with local pain. Diagnostic imaging confirmed the aneurysms. The surgical interventions included proximal and distal vessel ligation and aneurysm resection under local anesthesia. Both patients were discharged on the first postoperative day without complications and showed no vascular complications during a 5-year follow-up.ConclusionAneurysms with marked rarity require individualized treatment with surgical options tailored to the clinical presentation and vascular status.
