Vascular insufficiency of the upper extremity

James P Higgins et al. J Hand Surg Am. 2010 Sep.

Abstract

Vascular insufficiency of the upper extremity can be due to acute vascular injury, chronic vasospastic disease, and occlusive disease. Its treatment requires a thorough understanding of the vascular anatomy of the upper extremity, diagnostic modalities, and medical and surgical management options. Promising advances continue to be made in surgical treatment and medical therapy.
