Abstract
Brachial artery mycotic aneurysms are very rare and even more uncommon to present initially with bleeding or rupture. Initial presentation of ruptured brachial artery mycotic aneurysm in an active intravenous drug abuser is managed with brachial artery ligation with an option of revascularization later. Distal circulation is not commonly threatened as there is a presence of collaterals to perfuse the distal limb. In this case report, we present a case of limb-threatening brachial artery mycotic aneurysm rupture that needed emergency revascularization surgery.
