Multiple radial artery pseudoaneurysms including an unrelated site of arterial catheterization after transradial coronary intervention: a case report.

Radial artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) is a rare iatrogenic complication associated with percutaneous radial artery catheterization. However, RAP has become more common with the increased use of transradial coronary intervention. RAP has a diverse range of treatment strategies-from conservative management to endovascular treatment and surgery. We report on the case of a 66-year-old male patient with a 1-month prior history of transradial coronary intervention. A computed tomography (CT) scan was performed to evaluate pain, swelling and palpable masses on right forearm. The results of this CT revealed two discrete RAPs. Surgery was performed for complete excision of the RAPs after percutaneous endovascular exclusion using covered stent failed.
