Idiopathic true aneurysm of distal radial artery aneurysm in Chulabhorn Hospital: A case report
2022, Annals of Vascular Surgery - Brief Reports and InnovationsHypothenar hammer syndrome associated with rapidly evolving ulnar false aneurysm
2022, JMV-Journal de Medecine VasculaireIdiopathic true ulnar artery aneurysm
2021, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :If the aneurysm is distal, simple resection is a suitable option if the hand is adequately perfused with an intact radial artery [10]. However, if hand perfusion is inadequate, ulnar artery reconstruction using microsurgical technique is mandatory [11]. The reconstruction can be achieved by primary end-to-end anastomosis if there is no tension.
True Idiopathic Radial Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report and Review of Current Literature
2020, EJVES Vascular ForumCitation Excerpt :Options range from simple resection and ligation of the radial artery stump if the hand is adequately perfused, vs. reconstruction with a primary end to end anastomosis if there is no tension, or with graft interposition if the defect is lengthy. There is no clear consensus about whether to ligate or reconstruct the radial artery: some authors have proposed revascularisation whenever possible,8 whereas others have argued for selective revascularisation depending on the collateral circulation.9,10 Nonetheless, both methods have achieved good results with low morbidity, as evidenced by previously reported cases in Table 1 and in this patient.
Posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm of a superficial branch of the ulnar artery: A case report
2020, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Ultrasound-guided thrombin injection is effective for uncomplicated post-catheterization pseudoaneurysms of the femoral artery with a success rate of 90% [23]. However, experience with thrombin injection is limited and embolization can result in fatal ischemia [24]. The authors favor surgical treatment.
Rapidly Expanding Ulnar False Aneurysm Related to a Tablet Computer
2015, Annals of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Repetitive trauma to the palm of the hand is a common cause in producing HHS, and has even been correlated to the duration of employment as hammerer,11 but an isolated incident of trauma may also lead to the development of an aneurysm. Most pseudoaneurysms are caused by acute trauma with direct arterial injury,12–14 and rapidly expanding false aneurysms are usually described as secondary to a penetrating trauma.1,12 However, chronic low-intensity repetitive trauma could lead to pseudoaneurysm formation in the ulnar artery, that is only protected by the skin, subcutaneous tissue, palmaris brevis muscle, and superficial aponeurosis.
