Abstract
Introduction
Brachial artery aneurysms can occur secondary to trauma and previous arteriovenous fistulae. True brachial artery aneurysms are rare. We describe a case and review the limited literature.
Report
A 71-year-old man was found to have a large, left-sided true brachial artery aneurysm causing ischaemic symptoms distally. He underwent a successful surgical repair using a reversed basilic vein interposition graft.
Discussion
Prompt diagnosis and treatment of true brachial artery aneurysms are important to prevent hand ischaemia.
