Abstract

We present a case of a successful repair of brachial artery after blunt trauma, almost five days after the injury. Autovenous graft (great saphenous vein) was used for the repair. The diagnosis was confirmed by angiography, and this method was indisposable in the postoperative course. Precise surgical technique is compulsory in obtaining optimal surgical revascularization.
