ABSTRACT
The arterial reconstruction as a treatment for chronic ischemia of the upper extremities is common during the current surgical practice. It represents only the 4% of the total vascular surgical operations, by which only few reports have been published in the worldwide literature. Ischemic pathology of the upper extremities differs from the lower extremities, because it is more frequent the observation of a history of embolia, trauma, collagen vascular disease and thromboanguiitis obliterans. The surgical resolution is not frequent and the loss of the extremity even less, due to the abundantly colateral circulation of the vascular tree. A patient with this pathology is reported and the surgical management is discussed.
