“…[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Management options include resection with ligation, endto-end repair or grafting, depending on collateral flow and vasomotor tone. [16][17][18][19] An ultrasound-guided thrombin injection has also been reported as valid alternative therapy for pseudoaneurysms arising more proximally. 20 Recent data shows that the palmar digital artery should be repaired in a pedicular section of the finger, to significantly improve the sensitive recovery quality and cold intolerance of the fingers.…”

False aneurysm of the common digital artery. Is reconstruction with an arterial graft worth the efforts? A case report

False aneurysms in the hand are rare. A false aneurysm of the common digital artery in the palm for the second and third finger is reported, illustrating our experience with arterial graft reconstruction after excision as a valid alternative surgical therapy to a vein graft, when ligation or end-to-end anastomosis are not indicated or feasible. The superficial palmar branch of the radial artery was chosen as donor vessel based on the similarity in vessel diameter and wall thickness to the common digital arteries. Ease of harvesting and performing the microvascular anastomosis using an arterial graft allows for a viable reconstruction after false aneurysm excision in the palm.

“…Th e mechanism of aneurysm formation is considered to be compression of the arterial wall producing contusion of the arterial media with subsequent weakness of the wall and fusiform dilatation [1]. True aneurysm has been caused by arteriosclerotic, congenital, and metabolic disorders [8,9], and can be associated with diseases such as Kawasaki's syndrome, Buerger's disease, Kaposi's sarcoma, and cystic adventitial disease [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

True upper extremity peripheral artery aneurysms are a rarely encountered arterial disorder. Following computer-tomography angiographic (CT-a) imaging examination, true saccular aneurysm, originating from the left brachial artery was diagnosed in the 77-year-old female without history of trauma. The aneurysm was resected by surgical intervention, and primary repair of the brachial artery was performed by interposition of a part of great saphenous vein harvested from the left groin and creation of two end-to-end anastomoses between interposition graft and previously resected part of brachial artery. No complication was observed during the follow-up. Surgical intervention for upper extremity aneurysms should be initiated without delay. Factors combined with minimal morbidity associated with repair suggest that surgical repair should be performed routinely for true upper extremity arterial aneurysms.
