Typical Clinical Scenarios

An adult patient presents to the emergency department after a penetrating forearm injury with active pulsatile bleeding and expanding hematoma over the medial upper arm. Imaging and bedside exam localize a laceration of the right brachial artery requiring urgent surgical exploration and open repair to restore arterial continuity and control hemorrhage. An open approach repair of the right brachial artery is performed in the inpatient setting to reestablish distal perfusion and prevent limb ischemia. Typical codes: 03Q70ZZ
An older patient with a symptomatic right brachial artery aneurysm and progressive forearm claudication is admitted electively for surgical correction. Preoperative planning identifies a focal arterial defect amenable to minimally invasive transcatheter repair without open exposure. A percutaneous repair of the right brachial artery is performed in the inpatient setting to exclude the aneurysm and restore normal arterial flow. Typical codes: 03Q73ZZ
A patient previously treated for traumatic right brachial artery stenosis develops recurrent narrowing and impaired distal pulses despite prior interventions. During readmission for limb ischemia symptoms, endovascular assessment reveals a lesion requiring repair using image-guided instruments introduced through a small incision. A percutaneous endoscopic repair of the right brachial artery is performed to correct the recurrent lesion and reestablish adequate perfusion. Typical codes: 03Q74ZZ
