title: Endovascular stenting of brachial artery occlusion in critical hand ischemia.
abstract: Critical upper limb ischemia caused by atherosclerosis is uncommon. Endovascular treatment, with angioplasty or stenting, has been successfully performed for subclavian and below the elbow diseases; however, there's a lack of report regarding the treatment of brachial artery disease causing critical hand ischemia. In this article, we describe the treatment of a brachial artery occlusion with endovascular stenting in a patient with chronic upper limb ischemia.
