Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Arterial Diseases

Background:

  • Axillary artery aneurysms are uncommon but pose significant risks to upper extremity function.
  • Causes include trauma, iatrogenic injury, degenerative changes, and thoracic outlet syndrome.

Observation:

  • Symptoms range from mass effects causing brachial plexus compression to thromboembolic events affecting the hands.
  • Arteriography is the primary diagnostic tool for these aneurysms.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision and vascular grafting are effective treatments for most axillary artery aneurysms.
  • Early intervention is crucial to prevent limb loss and functional impairment.

Implications:

  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of axillary artery aneurysms are essential for preserving upper extremity viability.
  • Understanding the diverse etiologies aids in timely and appropriate management.
