BACKGROUND: Conventional surgical treatment of brachial @entity2849 (BAPs) includes @entity439 /opening and subsequent arterial reconstruction with different options depending on the extent of the arterial deficit. Endovascular repair of BAPs with stent grafting has also been reported but published experience remains limited. In this report, we present our experience with a novel hybrid approach consisting of primary @entity439 with a stent graft and subsequent open surgical evacuation of @entity2849 content for decompression of adjacent structures. METHODS: This study included all @entity1 who underwent hybrid repair of a BAP within the period 2005-2014 in our institution. Data were collected retrospectively. RESULTS: During the study period a total of 5 @entity1 with iatrogenic BAPs were treated. Mean BAP diameter was 58      4.9  mm. Technical success was 100%. Thirty-day mortality was null. No major perioperative complications were noted. Hand @entity63 and @entity16 were reversed in all @entity1 after the procedure. During follow-up (median 24  months, range 6-60  months) all stent grafts remained patent and no @entity439 relapse was noticed. No signs of stent-graft infection were noticed in any of the @entity1 and no reintervention was needed. CONCLUSIONS: Primary endovascular exclusion of BAPs with a stent graft followed by surgical evacuation of @entity2849 sac content is associated with good early and mid-term results in this limited experience. Larger @entity1 cohorts are required for further evaluation of this technique.
