The vascular pathology of patients with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF-1) is known. Aneurysms of the brachial artery in NF-1 patients are rare and surgical treatment remains a challenge.
A patient known to have NF-1 presented with swelling of the left arm. Computed tomography angiography showed a ruptured aneurysm of the brachial artery. Operative reconstruction was performed using reversed saphenous vein.
Up to now four cases had been published describing brachial aneurysms in NF-1 patients. This case describes the successful reconstruction of a ruptured brachial aneurysm, using a saphenous vein.
1型神经纤维瘤病(NF-1)患者的血管病理学是已知的。NF-1患者肱动脉动脉瘤罕见,手术治疗仍然是一项挑战。
一名已知患有NF-1的患者出现左臂肿胀。计算机断层扫描血管造影显示肱动脉动脉瘤破裂。采用大隐静脉逆行进行手术重建。
到目前为止,已发表了4例描述NF-1患者肱动脉瘤的病例。本病例描述了使用大隐静脉成功重建破裂的肱动脉瘤。
