Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

J Invasive Cardiol. 2021 May;33(5):E406.

Abstract

Radial artery pseudoaneurysm is a very rare complication. In the presented case, computed tomography 3 months post percutaneous coronary intervention demonstrated contrast extravasation, suggestive of radial artery pseudoaneurysm. This complication was managed with thrombin infusion at the distal radial artery.
