Critical upper limb ischemia caused by atherosclerosis is uncommon. Endovascular treatment, with angioplasty or stenting, has been successfully performed for subclavian and below the elbow diseases; however, there's a lack of report regarding the treatment of brachial artery disease causing critical hand ischemia.
