Abstract

Transradial access is associated with fewer access site-related complications, earlier patient mobilization, and greater postprocedural comfort. Pseudoaneurysms are an extremely rare complication after transradial procedures and the radial artery itself is the most atypical arterial site of occurrence. We report a case in which a non-surgical, non-invasive, simple, and effective solution (prolonged pneumatic compression) was used to manage a radial artery pseudoaneurysm, a very rare and challenging complication of transradial procedures.

Resumo

O acesso arterial transradial está associado a menos complicações relacionadas ao sítio de punção, com deambulação precoce do paciente e maior conforto pós-procedimento. O pseudoaneurisma é uma complicação extremamente rara após procedimentos transradiais, sendo a artéria radial, por si só, o sítio mais incomum para tal ocorrência. Relata-se um caso de um pseudoaneurisma de artéria radial, uma complicação rara e desafiadora, resolvido com êxito e de maneira simples, não invasiva e não cirúrgica (compressão pneumática prolongada).
