“…Numerous modalities have been utilized for the treatment of brachial artery stenosis. Treatments ranging from standard balloon techniques in addition to stenting with bare metal stents, angioplasty with drugeluting balloons, atherectomy as well as surgical revascularization have been reported in the literature [8][9][10][11][12]. No definitive standard guidelines are currently available to guide the treatment of axillo-brachial artery stenosis.…”

The following case report is an overview of an unusual presentation of bilateral axillo-brachial artery occlusion following messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccination against severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (COVID-19). A 64-year-old female presented with symptoms initially consistent with polymyalgia rheumatica five weeks following the first booster of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. She was successfully treated with prednisone therapy; however, despite the normalization of inflammatory markers, she later presented with bilaterally occluded axillo-brachial arteries. She successfully underwent endovascular management for the treatment of her symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of chronically occluded bilateral axillo-brachial artery disease following mRNA vaccination for COVID-19 successfully treated with endovascular therapy. The unusual pathogenesis of upper extremity arterial disease is reviewed and a review of endovascular treatment options is presented. A literature review of the types of vasculitis seen following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination is also presented.
