Bilateral digital artery thrombosis: a case report

G L Lucas

    Journal of Microsurgery
    |May 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Blunt arterial trauma can lead to digital artery blockage. Vein grafts are crucial for restoring blood flow in such cases, as seen in a patient with ring finger artery thrombosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery
    • Hand Surgery

    Background:

    • Blunt arterial trauma is a significant cause of digital artery occlusion.
    • Restoration of digital blood flow is critical for hand function preservation.

    Observation:

    • A 55-year-old male patient presented with thrombosis affecting both the radial and ulnar digital arteries of the ring finger.
    • This case highlights a severe consequence of blunt arterial trauma affecting the hand.

    Findings:

    • Digital arterial occlusion due to blunt trauma can necessitate surgical intervention.
    • Vein grafting is a viable option for revascularizing occluded digital arteries.

    Implications:

    • Successful vein grafting can restore adequate digital blood flow and prevent tissue loss.
    • This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment of digital artery injuries.
    • Understanding outcomes of vein grafts in digital revascularization is vital for surgical planning.
