Brachial Artery Embolectomy in a Polytrauma Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Upper limb arterial thromboembolism, a rare complication of such injuries, may be missed if typical signs, such as pain, pulselessness, and sensory loss, cannot be ascertained or are overlooked by physicians, especially in the case of polytrauma or comatose patients.
