A 29-year-old man was diagnosed with vascular type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome after right hepatic artery aneurysm rupture. He was admitted to a hospital with hematoma and sudden pain of right upper limb. After imaging diagnosis by echography and contrast-enhanced CT, We performed emergency surgery. Intraoperative findings revealed brachial artery rupture, so we performed arterial replacement by using a great saphenous vein graft. The postoperative course was uneventful. We report a rescued case of brachial artery rupture with vascular type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome by bypass using great saphenous vein graft.
