An injury to the brachial artery from humeral shaft fracture is uncommon but requires immediate surgery to restore the blood flow. We report a case of endovascular stenting to repair a brachial artery occlusion caused by humeral shaft fracture in a 53 year old male with a review of the relevant literature.

We observed a case of superficial brachial artery in the left arm of a Korean male cadaver. It was compared with the previously reported ones, and its characteristics were summarized as follows. 1. The superficial brachial artery, which arose from the axillary artery at the superior border of the teres major muscle, passed in front of the medial root of the median nerve and subsequently became to lie on the medial side of the median nerve. This artery crossed the median nerve anteriorly in the middle of the upper arm, then lay lateral to the median nerve in the lower part of the upper arm to the cubital fossa. 2. After giving off the deep brachial artery, several muscular branches and inferior ulnar collateral artery, the superficial brachial artery terminated in the cubital fossa by dividing into its two terminal branches, the radial and ulnar arteries. The superior ulnar collateral artery arose from the deep brachial artery, and the common interosseous artery from the ulnar artery. The course and distribution of the ulnar and radial arteries were normal. 3. It has been reported that a deeper artery, which takes the normal course of the brachial artery and continues as the common interosseous artery, usually coexists with the superficial brachial artery, even if the superficial brachial artery gives off both radial and ulnar arteries in the cubital fossa. But in our case, there was no deeper artery which passes deep to the median nerve. 4. It was presumed that this type of variation is produced by an unusual development of the superficial brachial artery that has been formed during early development as the main artery at the cost of complete degeneration of the normal brachial artery.

BACKGROUND: The authors sought to determine whether a shallow needle approach to the axillary artery would improve complete sensory blocks of median, radial, and ulnar nerves as compared with a perpendicular approach when transarterial axillary block is performed using a scalp vein needle (23G, 3/4'). METHODS: Fifty-four patients were allocated equally to a perpendicular group (the PA group) or a shallow approach group (SA group). Sensory and motor scores were evaluated and compared in the two groups at 5-minute intervals for 20 minutes after block. The main outcome variables were rates of blockage of median, radial, and ulnar nerves. RESULTS: Excellent block rates (defined as completion of surgery using brachial plexus block alone) were obtained in both groups (SA group 77.8% vs. PA group 70.3%, P = 0.755). However, the rate of blockage of all three nerves was significantly higher in the SA group (74% vs. 40.7%, P = 0.013). Furthermore, the rate of complete sensory block of the radial nerve at 20 minutes was significantly greater in the SA group (85.2% vs. 59.3%, P = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS: A shallow needle approach to the axillary artery resulted in a significantly higher median, radial, and ulnar nerve block rate at 20 minutes after LA injection than a perpendicular approach.

8.Changes of Brachial Arterial Doppler Waveform during Immersion of the Hand of Young Men in Ice-cold Water.
Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1994;31(5):819-823
PURPOSE: To evaluate the changes of brachial arterial Doppler waveform during immersion of the hand of young men in ice-cold water. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Doppler waveforms of brachial arteries in 11 young male patients were recorded before and during immersion of ipsilateral hand in ice-cold water(4--5 degree C). The procedure was repeated on separate days. Patterns of waveform during immersion were compared with the changes of pulsatility index. RESULTS: Four men showed high impedance waveforms, and 5 men showed low impedance waveforms during immersion both at the first and at the second study. Two men, however, showed high impedance waveforms at the first study and low impedance waveforms at the second study. The pulsatility index rose and fell in high and low impedance waveforms, respectively. CONCLUSION: The changes of brachial arterial Doppler waveforms could be classified into high and low impedance patterns, probably reflecting the acute changes in downstream impedance during immersion of hand in ice-cold water.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: alpha-Lipoic acid (ALA) is known to improve endothelial function in patients with diabetes. However, the effect of ALA on endothelial function in hypertensive patients is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether ALA improves endothelial function in diabetic and hypertensive patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This study included 40 patients who were treated with ALA (Group I: 20 diabetic patients, 54.9+/-10.2 years, Group II: 20 hypertensive patients, 56.5+/-9.0 years). ALA was administered in 600 mg/day doses during the first four weeks, and 1,200 mg/day doses during the second four weeks. Clinical characteristics and endothelial function were assessed at baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after ALA administration. Evaluation of patients included: assessment of the brachial artery for flow mediated vasodilation (FMD) and the inflammatory marker (high sensitive CRP: hsCRP). RESULTS: Clinical characteristics (body mass index, total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and hsCRP) were unchanged in each group. However, FMD was significantly improved at 8 weeks after ALA therapy in both groups. Group I-baseline: 4 weeks : 8 weeks = 4.1+/-3.3 : 6.5+/-2.2 : 8.0+/-2.7, Group II-baseline: 4 weeks : 8 weeks = 5.5+/-3.7 : 7.4+/-3.3 : 9.3+/-2.7, p<0.05. The level of fibrinogen was observed to have an inverse correlation with FMD at 8 weeks after ALA therapy in Group I (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: ALA improves endothelial function in both diabetic and hypertensive patients.
