The upper extremity arterial thrombosis has a low frequency of presentation, which is why they have been little studied and their therapeutic alternatives can be controversial with a high risk of limb loss, which represents a crucial factor in the quality of life of patients. In this investigation, cases of upper extremity arterial thrombosis are reported, evaluated and treated by the Department of angiology, vascular and endovascular surgery of the General Hospital of Mexico Dr. Eduardo Liceaga in Mexico City during the period of March 2022 to March 2023.
