We present a case of arterial bypass for extensive stenosis of the ulnar artery and superficial palmar arch. The ulnar artery and the superficial palmar arch were bypassed using the great saphenous vein. Postoperatively, blood flow to the affected fingers gradually improved and the pain disappeared.

Hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS) is a rare vascular disease caused by repetitive trauma to the hypothenar eminence, leading to thrombi and sometimes aneurysm development in the ulnar artery. This case report presents an atypical presentation of HHS with pathology extending distally into the digital arteries, complicated by an unclear history and unique genetic contributions. The patient, a 58-year-old male with a distant history of jackhammer work, presented with progressive pain in his fourth and fifth digits.

Article Synopsis
- * Accurate diagnosis relies on understanding clinical signs and utilizing imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT angiography, and MRI, with an emphasis on dynamic imaging due to the positional nature of these syndromes.
- * Treatment often combines conservative methods and surgery focused on decompressing the affected areas, and this overview aims to help radiologists better recognize and manage these conditions for effective patient care.

Hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS) is a rare vascular disorder leading to ulnar artery thrombosis or aneurysm and causing acute or chronic limb ischemia. The optimal approaches to managing this condition lack a definitive consensus and are essentially empirical, typically necessitating conservative methods for symptomatic relief, with surgical intervention reserved for cases for which conservative measures prove inadequate or when acute limb ischemia ensues. Limited data are available on percutaneous management for this condition.

The symptomatic upper extremity peripheral artery disease (sUE-PAD) is poorly studied compared with the lower extremity peripheral artery disease (LE-PAD). We aimed to describe sUE-PAD etiologies and outcomes at 2 years. From an observational survey conducted in two French tertiary hospitals, demographic characteristics, etiology, treatment, and outcomes during follow-up were collected on patients with ICD-10 I74.
