Surgical options for ischemia are often limited due to the distal nature of disease and the lack of suitable bypass targets. We present a case of upper extremity ischemia secondary to TAO treated with distal brachial-to-radial artery bypass and periarterial sympathectomy. A 46-year-old woman with a history of tobacco use presented with progressive left-hand pain, numbness, and diminished distal pulses in the extremity. Angiography demonstrated occlusion of the distal brachial artery with segmental occlusions of the radial and ulnar arteries and reconstitution of the palmar arch through the interosseous artery. Revascularization and sympathectomy resulted in initial symptomatic improvement. At 3-year follow-up, the patient reported continued avoidance of tobacco and sustained improvement in symptoms. Though smoking cessation is essential, arterial reconstruction combined with periarterial sympathectomy may provide symptom relief and improved tissue perfusion in TAO.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag361","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,23]],"date-time":"2026-04-23T11:42:20Z","timestamp":1776944540000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Distal brachial-radial artery bypass with periarterial sympathectomy in Buerger disease: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2698-8709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dev","family":"Patel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooper Medical School of Rowan University , 401 Broadway, Camden, NJ 08103 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8814-1872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana","family":"Mastellone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooper Medical School of Rowan University , 401 Broadway, Camden, NJ 08103 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A Bobby","family":"Chhabra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Virginia School of Medicine , 1340 Jefferson Park Ave, Charlottesville, VA 22903 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael J","family":"Franco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooper Medical School of Rowan University , 401 Broadway, Camden, NJ 08103 ,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Cooper University Hospital , 1 Cooper Plaza, Camden, NJ 08103 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026050912594664600_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"864","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM200009213431207","article-title":"Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease)","volume":"343","author":"Olin","year":"2000","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2026050912594664600_ref2","volume-title":"StatPearls [Internet]","author":"Aja","year":"2026"},{"key":"2026050912594664600_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"600","DOI":"10.1007\/s005950070099","article-title":"Distribution of arterial involvement in thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease): results of a study conducted by the Intractable Vasculitis Syndromes Research Group in Japan","volume":"30","author":"Sasaki","year":"2000","journal-title":"Surg Today"},{"key":"2026050912594664600_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"871","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2011.11.005","article-title":"Buerger\u2019s disease","volume":"26","author":"Dargon","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ann Vasc Surg"},{"key":"2026050912594664600_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4228","DOI":"10.26355\/eurrev_202206_29059","article-title":"Clinical outcomes in patients with infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease treated by lower extremity bypass surgery: a comparison of atherosclerosis and thromboangiitis obliterans","volume":"26","author":"Yan","year":"2022","journal-title":"Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci"},{"key":"2026050912594664600_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jor.2023.11.072","article-title":"Distal periarterial sympathectomy surgery for chronic digital ischemia: a systematic review of the literature","volume":"50","author":"Cereceda-Monteoliva","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Orthop"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2026\/5\/rjag361\/68261326\/rjag361.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2026\/5\/rjag361\/68261326\/rjag361.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,9]],"date-time":"2026-05-09T16:59:54Z","timestamp":1778345994000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjag361\/8675159"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,5]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjag361","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-8812","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2026,5]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,5]]},"article-number":"rjag361"}}
