## TL;DR

A rare case of axillary artery pseudoaneurysm with distal thrombosis was treated using a hybrid surgical method.

## Contribution

Presents a novel hybrid surgical approach for treating a rare vascular condition.

## Key findings

- Acute upper extremity ischemia was caused by axillary artery pseudoaneurysm and distal thrombosis.
- A covered stent graft and Fogarty balloon thrombectomy successfully treated the condition.
- The case highlights the effectiveness of hybrid surgical techniques in managing complex vascular issues.

## Abstract

This report details a case of axillary artery pseudoaneurysm with concurrent distal thrombosis, manifesting as acute upper extremity ischemia. The condition was successfully treated with a hybrid surgical approach, employing a covered stent graft and Fogarty balloon thrombectomy. We review the relevant literature on the management of this rare but critical vascular condition.
