From January, 1973, to December, 1987, 63 arterial revascularization procedures were performed in 50 pa tients suffering from brachial artery injuries following cardiac catheteriza tion. There were 15 occlusive compli cations (30%) after the primary attempt to revascularize the damaged brachial artery. Thrombectomy asso ciated with a simple repair of the arte rial cutdown (Type IA) led to 8 compli cations of 9 procedures performed. Technical details of repair of the dam aged artery—debridement, venous patch graft, resection, end-to-end anastomosis, and venous bypass inter position—were found to be important and led to long-term patency.
