title: Swelling in the upper arm: the presentation and management of an isolated brachial artery aneurysm.
abstract: True aneurysms of the brachial artery are uncommon. We describe the presentation and surgical management of an isolated, brachial artery aneurysm in a 64-year-old woman. Excision of the aneurysm and long saphenous venous interposition grafting was performed with no postoperative complications  and histology demonstrated true aneurysmal degeneration.
