A different approach to simultaneously injured ulnar and radial arteries: Translocation of an arterial segment

Upper-extremity arterial injury is a common and serious condition that may lead to amputation if improperly treated. Ligation of the ulnar or radial artery is frequently performed by vascular surgeons as a method of treatment, which should be avoided, particularly if the radial and ulnar arteries were both injured. A different approach to reconstruction is described in the present report.

Birlikte yaralanmýþ ulnar ve radial arter onarýmýna farklý bir yaklaþým: Arteriyel segment translokasyonu

Üst ekstremite arter yaralanmalarý, yaygýn görülen ve ciddi bir durumdur ve eðer doðru tedavi edilmezse ekstremiteyi amputasyona kadar götürebilir. Radial ya da ulnar arterin baðlanmasý, vasküler cerahlar tarafýndan sýkça uygulanan bir tedavi metotudur. Eðer radial ve ulnar arterler her ikisi birden yaralanmýþsa, bundan özellikle kaçýnmak gerekir. Bu olguda, birlikte yaralanmýþ radial ve ulnar arterin tamirine yönelik farklý bir yaklaþým sunuldu.
