Abstract 

Upper limb arterial variations are frequently discovered at cadaver dissection, in clinical or surgical settings. We report the case of a female patient with acute upper limb ischemia due to a thrombosed brachial artery. At operation, an aberrant radial artery (ARA) was found, resembling the brachial artery. Further identification of the brachial artery deep to ARA leads to successful revascularization.
