Résumé
Axillary artery aneurysms are an uncommon upper extremity pathology. While trauma is the most common cause, degenerative aneurysms may occur in high-flow vascular conditions, such as upper extremity arteriovenous fistulas. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a rare cause. We herein describe a 41-year-old male with multiple congenital high-flow AVMs in the left upper extremity who presented with an asymptomatic axillary artery aneurysm. The aneurysm was successfully treated with open resection and revascularization using a reversed basilic vein interposition graft. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of an axillary artery aneurysm in patients with upper extremity AVMs.
