Summary: This video presents a case of an infected brachial artery to axillary vein graft that was taken to the operating room for emergency operation due to active hemorrhage. A tourniquet was utilized to fully remove the graft and avoid exposing a re-operative field. The brachial artery was repaired utilizing an autologous vein patch taken from the axillary vein.
