Abstract

Background: Acute upper limb ischemia (AULI) is a potential complication associated with massages of occluded vascular accesses in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Pharmacological thrombolysis, endovascular intervention and surgical intervention are possible treatment options. Deciding the appropriate treatment strategy is still a controversial issue. Case Presentation: The patient was a 43-year-old woman with renal failure who underwent hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. She was found to have an arteriovenous graft (AVG) thrombosis at the start of a hemodialysis session. She underwent massage of the vascular access, and immediately after the massage, she reported pain and cyanosis in her right-hand fingers and was referred to our hospital. Duplex ultrasonography revealed a large number of thrombi in the brachial, radial and ulnar arteries. AULI due to brachial artery thrombosis was diagnosed and surgical intervention was performed on the same day. The vascular wall of the forearm artery was incised vertically against the running vessel and thrombi around the bifurcation of the radial and ulnar arteries were removed. Angiography guided-surgical intervention was performed and improvement in blood flow was achieved. The patient was discharged on the second day after the operation. Conclusion: Surgical intervention has been reported as an effective treatment of AULI due to brachial artery thrombosis after massage of an occluded vascular access.
