Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Brachial artery injuries result from various trauma types, including penetrating and blunt mechanisms.
  • These injuries can lead to significant morbidity, including peripheral nerve damage and limb dysfunction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze management and surgical treatment strategies for brachial artery injuries.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical interventions for traumatic brachial artery injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 57 patients with 58 brachial artery injuries.
  • Surgical repair techniques included end-to-end anastomosis, saphenous vein grafts, and primary repair.
  • Doppler ultrasonography was used for all patients; fasciotomy was performed when indicated.

Main Results:

  • Successful venous continuity achieved in 84.6% of patients with major venous injuries.
  • 15.8% of patients required primary fasciotomy.
  • Good outcomes were reported, with no deaths, though some patients experienced nerve injury-related disabilities.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of brachial artery injuries relies on thorough physical examination and Doppler ultrasonography.
  • Vascular repair and debridement are key to restoring limb viability.
  • Prompt surgical intervention can lead to favorable results in managing these complex injuries.
