Background/Objective: Brachial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a serious complication in patients with previous arterio-venous fistula (AVF), renal transplantation (RT), and immunosuppressive regimens. Until now, there has been no standard of care for these patients, especially for patients undergoing chronic dialysis and immunosuppressive treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate data from the literature regarding these patients and to suggest recommendations for the best approach to their treatment. Methods: A review of the literature was performed by searching the PubMed database in the English language. The review was accompanied by two case reports. A total of 24 articles with different variables—demographics, renal transplantation, aneurysm size, and type of surgery—were subjected to the review. In addition, two cases are reported. Conclusion: This review suggests that the best treatment for these patients is open surgery, with aneurysmectomy and graft interposition. Results: All patients had RT. The age of patients ranged from 26–77 yo, with a male predominance. The majority had an AVF ligated after RT. The main clinical symptoms were pain, swelling, and pulsatile mass (66%). All patients, except one, were treated through open surgery. The first option for treatment was reversed saphenous vein graft interposition (36%), followed by ePTFE graft (16%).

“…In most published cases, brachial artery aneurysm has been widely managed by surgical intervention by aneurysmectomy and arterial reconstruction using a synthetic or autologous venous graft. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 Studies suggest that repair with autologous vein graft, such as the GSV interposition or brachial vein interposition, provides superior patency compared to the PTFE bypass and composite grafting. 5 Interestingly, the management of this type of aneurysms with endovascular intervention has not yet been reported in any of the reported cases.…”
