Percutaneous Angioplasty of the Radial Artery and Its Deep Palmar Branch for Critical Hand Ischemia – A Case Report

Abstract

Delayed presentation of a false aneurysm following blunt trauma is rare with only five cases discussed in literature. We describe two cases of late false aneurysms of the Subclavian artery following blunt injury.

This is in line with a recent report showing that endovascular treatment for cases of chronic ischaemia in the upper limb was associated with more complications as compared with an open surgical approach.…”
