“…3 Other studies have described 95% to 97% sensitivity and 95% to 98% specificity. 5 DUS not only allows proper evaluation of the injured limb but is an inexpensive and less invasive option than other modalities. 1 The sonographic protocol used to follow-up a right upper extremity arterial injury included grayscale, color, and Doppler evaluation of the innominate, subclavian, axillary, brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries.…”

“…1,2 While computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the preferred diagnostic imaging choice for the initial evaluation of vascular trauma, and arteriography is considered the gold standard, duplex ultrasonography (DUS) has proven to be a useful diagnostic tool for the identification and surveillance of vascular injuries, which has proven to have 94% to 97% sensitivity and 82.5% to 98% sensitivity. 2 –5 This case study presents the identification of delayed arterial injury with subsequent clinical follow-up evaluation using DUS.…”

Vascular trauma can be a life-threatening event. Various complications can arise when injury to an artery occurs. Thus, early diagnostic imaging may be necessary for emergency treatment. A case study is presented of a delayed arterial injury, after a gunshot wound, involving the right upper extremity. This case demonstrates the importance of continued clinical surveillance and management. Duplex sonography has been shown to have 94% to 97% sensitivity and 82.5% to 98% specificity, regarding vascular injury. This case study describes the use of duplex sonography for the identification and clinical follow-up of multiple arterial injuries that presented 1 month after the initial traumatic incident.

Low-energy blunt brachial artery injury is very rare and can be easily missed. Moreover, brachial artery injury in an amateur volleyball player is extremely rare. A 33-year-old woman was referred to our emergency department with swelling on her left upper arm after playing volleyball. Paresis or paralysis was not observed. The pulse of the left brachial artery was palpable, but relatively weak. An ultrasound examination and a computed tomography, both, revealed a pseudoaneurysm on the posterior wall of the left brachial artery in the antecubital fossa. A massive hematoma was also observed beneath the artery. The examination ruled out any concomitant injuries such as fracture and dislocation of the joints. An emergency surgery was performed. A hockey stick skin incision was made from the distal brachium to the antecubital fossa. The left brachial artery was detected in the hematoma. A 15 mm-long laceration was observed on the posterior wall of the artery. The condition of the vessel wall around laceration was poor. Therefore, we resected the injured lesions. The defect was so long that the lesion was interposed by a reversed saphenous vein graft. Heparin was administered one day after the surgery, which was later changed to apixaban on the sixth day after the surgery. Apixaban was discontinued after a month post-surgery. During the follow-up period, the patient did not report any complications and the graft was unobstructed.

Introduction: This is a case report of an acute right brachial artery occlusion found on point-of-care ultrasound in the emergency department (ED) that illustrates the developing role of ultrasound in rapid differentiation and identification of acute vascular emergencies. Case Report: An 87-year-old male with a past medical history of coronary artery bypass graft presented to the ED with acute right upper extremity pain, with point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) findings consistent with acute right brachial artery occlusion. Conclusion: Arterial occlusions are vascular emergencies that can be rapidly identified
