case_images: An X-ray documented a Gartland IIIB fracture (Figure 1).
case_images: Digital subtraction angiography demonstrated a short occlusion of distal brachial artery with recanalization of the ulnar and radial arteries.

case_images: fig2-1179547619857074
case_images: With a percutaneous right common femoral arterial approach, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed, showing occlusion of the distal brachial artery, with recanalization of the ulnar and radial arteries immediately below the bifurcation (Figure 2).
case_images: After crossing the lesion with two 0.014" guide wires, a 3 x 28 mm BVS was deployed.

case_images: fig3-1179547619857074
case_images: A 3 x 28 mm BVS (Absorb; Abbott Vascular, Lakeside Drive, Santa Clara, CA) was released in the distal brachial artery (Figure 3), followed by remodeling with a non-compliant 2.5 x 20 mm balloon catheter to solve residual in-stent stenosis (Figure 4).
case_images: Immediate angiographic control showed correct positioning of the bioresorbable vascular scaffold with residual in-stent stenosis; the stent was dilated with a 2.5 mm catheter balloon.

case_images: A 3 x 28 mm BVS (Absorb; Abbott Vascular, Lakeside Drive, Santa Clara, CA) was released in the distal brachial artery (Figure 3), followed by remodeling with a non-compliant 2.5 x 20 mm balloon catheter to solve residual in-stent stenosis (Figure 4).
case_images: Final angiographic control showed restoration of the arterial flow.

case_images: fig5-1179547619857074
case_images: The final angiography confirmed correct positioning and patency of the stent with restoration of distal flow (Figure 5).
case_images: 36 months duplex ultrasound control confirmed the patency of the distal brachial artery.

case_images: A Doppler ultrasound scan performed 46 months after the procedure showed regular patency of the brachial artery (Figure 6).
