Postcathetrisation Pseudoaneurysm of the Radial Artery

Abstract

A postcatheterization pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery remains a rare complication, considering frequencies of its punction. The radial artery is easily accessible for the punction site management after the catheter removal.

We present pathogenesis of their origin, their prevention and options for surgical management of the radial artery pseudoaneurysms.
