Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms might be caused by perforation of an artery with hematoma formation between the arterial wall and the surrounding tissue after penetrating injury, intervention or operation. The frequency of radial artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication of cannulation is known for 0.048%. We report one case of radial artery pseudoaneurysm after single arterial blood gas analysis at wrist, which was managed by excision followed by vein graft.
