Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Rare Complication after Transradial Coronary Angiography
نویسنده
چکیده
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 pseudoaneurysm is an extremely rare complication associated with transradial access [1,3,4]. We report a case of radial artery pseudoaneurysm complicating diagnostic coronary angiography in a patient receiving therapeutic oral anticoagulation.

Successful Nonsurgical Treatment of a Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Transradial Coronary Angiography
Transradial coronary angiography has been known as an alternative to the transfemoral approach with fewer serious complications. Radial artery pseudoaneurysms present as a rare complication of transradial catheterization. Although some methods have been applied for the obliteration of pseudoaneurysms, the use of radial bands such as the TR Band® (Terumo Medical Corporation, Somerset, NJ) is a n...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula is a vascular condition that may result from coronary angiography. Many case reports have described arteriovenous fistula occurrence after coronary angiography using the transfemoral access route, but rarely as a complication of using the transradial approach. We report a rare case of a patient with arteriovenous fistula following tran...
متن کاملRadial pseudoaneurysm following trans-radial coronary angiography.
A case of pseudoaneurysm of right radial artery following transradial coronary angiography is reported. Adequate hemostasis is the key to prevention. Prolonged ultrasonography guided compression of neck of pseudoaneurysm or injection of procoagulants in the cavity of pseudoaneurysm can help non surgical closure.

The transradial approach to cardiac catheterization has many advantages over the transfemoral approach and is increasingly being used for both diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The technique is associated with fewer vascular access complications1–3 and has been shown to reduce major bleeding when compared with the femoral approach.4 Patients prefer th...
متن کاملRadial Arteriovenous Fistula Developed Late after Coronary Angiography: A Case Report
Transradial access is a widely accepted method for percutaneous coronary diagnostic and interventional procedures, and it has dramatically reduced access site vascular complications compared to transfemoral access. Arteriovenous fistula formation at the access site is an especially rare complication in transradial access. We report an extremely rare case of delayed radial arteriovenous fistula ...
