ABSTRACT
Digital ischemia is a serious problem in peripheral artery diseases (PAD) patients. Case 1 A 60-year-old woman with large arteriovenous fistula (AVF) complained of digital ischemia symptoms. The patient underwent dissection of AVF and distal bypass to the palmar arch with successful repair. Case 2 A 47-year-old female, diagnosed with renal failure, and scleroderma, complained of a digital gangrene. A bypass was performed from the left brachial artery to the superficial palmar arch. The digital gangrene showed a complete recovery within 2 months after surgery. Distal bypass to the palmar arch thus appears to be a useful procedure to re-establish digital circulation in PAD patients.
