Abstract

injuries. We present a 23 year-old male patient who was referred to our hospital due to brachial artery injury. He was immediately taken the operating room due to vascular injury with ischemia. His injured brachial artery and vein were repaired using saphenous vein interposition grafts. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. His brachial, radial and ulnar pulses were palpable. In patients with concomitant brachial artery and vein injury, venous collateral circulation may not be sufficient because of the accompanying large tissue defect. In this circumstance, both brachial artery and brachial vein should be repaired without delay.
