Figure

• 

  Fig. 1. Photograph of the right wrist. Painful, erythematous swelling was observed at the site of radial artery catheterization.

• 

  Fig. 2. Ultrasonography of the right wrist demonstrating an echoic mass measuring 11 × 8 × 7 mm and a swirling pattern of internal flow consistent with pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery.

• 

  Fig. 3. Photograph of the compression band. The band was comprised of an oval pad for compression and an elastic bandage to wrap the wrist.

• 

  Fig. 4. (A) Ultrasonography of the wrist. (B) Photograph of the right wrist. (C) Finger-brachial indexes of both hands. A Doppler ultrasonogram 1 week later revealed a decreased pseudoaneurysm size and thrombus formation. The finger-brachial indexes indicated normal digital blood pressure.

• 

  Fig. 5. (A) Ultrasonography of the wrist. (B) Photograph of the right wrist. (C) Finger-brachial indexes of both hands. A Doppler ultrasonogram obtained 2 weeks later revealed thrombotic occlusion of the radial artery pseudoaneurysm. The finger-brachial indexes indicated normal digital blood pressure.
