Ulnar artery aneurysm may develop due to traumatic, atherosclerotic and infectious reasons. Among extremity artery aneurysms, ulnar artery aneurysm is rare. Because of its rarity, we presented a patient with ulnar artery aneurysm treated with excision and basilic vein interposition. Excision of ulnar artery aneurysm and interposition of basilic vein only between brachial and radial arteries may establish the perfusion of the hand.
