Radial artery pseudoaneurysm: A rare complication after a single arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
With a reported incidence of 0.048%, radial artery pseudoaneurysm (PA) is a rare but serious complication of arterial cannulation. We report a case of PA developing after a single puncture of the right radial artery for arterial blood-gas analysis diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound in young male patient. The development of PA after puncture of radial artery for continuous blood pressure monitoring and serial blood-gas analysis has been reported in the past; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is only one case report of development of PA after a single arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis is reported in the past.

The transradial approach has recently been recommended as the first choice to reduce access-site vascular complications during percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures [1]. It may be preferred in anticoagulated patients to avoid those vascular complications associated with the femoral approach, which are compounded by systemic anticoagulation [2]. The radial artery pseudoa...
