Post-Traumatic Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysm at the Wrist Level: A Case Report

Abstract

A pseudoaneurysm is a collection of blood outside the arterial lumen but remains in continuity with the lumen and lined by fibrous tissue. Radial artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare entity mostly occurring due to iatrogenic reasons. Traumatic causes are rare. In this case report, we report a post-traumatic left radial artery pseudoaneurysm at the wrist level in a 20-year-old male patient. The patient was treated with end-toend repair of excised pseudoaneurysm with a vein graft taken from the radial artery vena comitantes through the same incision.
