Article Synopsis
- Compression of the subclavian artery can occur due to various factors, including bone abnormalities like pseudarthrosis of the clavicle, which is rare and can result from trauma or be congenital.
- A case study is presented involving a 44-year-old woman with severe ischemia in her right arm, caused by pseudarthrosis stemming from a neglected clavicle fracture she had at 9 months old.
- The treatment involved surgically removing the affected section of the clavicle and performing a late thromboembolectomy on the affected arteries, leading to positive outcomes for the patient.
Lower extremity intermittent claudication is usually related to atherosclerotic disease. The most common non-atherosclerotic causes are arterites, chronic compartmental syndrome, bone compression, and popliteal entrapment syndrome. The authors report a case of a patient with intermittent claudication related to anterior tibial artery entrapment caused by the interosseous membrane.
