Core Tip
Core Tip: This study evaluates the clinical outcomes of bare metal stent (BMS)-assisted endovascular repair for upper extremity arterial trauma, demonstrating that BMS significantly enhances limb function recovery and graft patency compared to non-BMS treatments. The refined “end-to-end anastomosis” technique with strategic stent overlapping reduces stent thrombosis incidence, achieving a superior long-term patency rate of 100% in BMS-treated patients. Our findings highlight the value of BMS in improving patient prognosis and quality of life following upper limb arterial injuries.
