Axillary-Contralateral Brachial Artery Bypass for Arm Ischemia

Abstract
A right axillary to left brachial arterial bypass (saphenous vein) was used in the treatment of a left subclavian artery obstruction secondary to radical mastectomy and irradiation 28 years previously. The axillary bypass was chosen over other surgical approaches because of its simplicity and efficacy.
