- Abstract:
- BACKGROUND: Of all upper extremity emboli, up to twenty percent arise from an arterial, not a cardiac source. METHOD: We report about a patient with recurrent embolism, caused by an axillary crutch-induced aneurysm of the axillary artery. RESULT: After revascularisation by embolectomy and axillo-brachial vein graft bypass, the patient was free of symptoms. CONCLUSION: Angiography and duplex scanning were necessary for the correct diagnosis.
