We report a case of radial artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) in the wrist due to catheterization that was treated with a compression bandage. Trans-radial access (TRA) is increasingly being used for diagnostic coronary angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and invasive arterial pressure monitoring. It is preferred to traditional femoral artery access, because it is associated with significantly fewer access site complications.[1] It is very important to know the complications associated with this access technique and how to prevent and manage them. Some of the common complications of TRA include asymptomatic radial artery occlusion, non-occlusive radial artery injury, and radial artery spasm. Symptomatic radial arterial occlusion, pseudoaneurysm, and radial artery perforation are rarely reported. Generally, access site complications can be minimized by avoiding multiple punctures, selecting smaller sheaths, performing gentle catheter manipulation, providing adequate anticoagulation therapy, using appropriate compression devices, and avoiding prolonged high-pressure compression. Additionally, the careful observation of pain, numbness, and hematoma formation during the immediate post-procedure period is essential for preventing catastrophic hand ischemia.[2] In contrast to TRA for coronary intervention, a 22to 24-Gauge (G) angiocatheter without a sheath is used for TRA for invasive monitoring of arterial blood pressure. Radial artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) for invasive monitoring is an extremely rare complication associated with TRA. We describe a case of RAP that was successfully treated using a compression bandage. We believe that the safety, efficacy, and minimal invasiveness of this method make it feasible for use as a treatment in selected patients with RAP. A 56-year-old man was referred to our hospital after sustaining a blunt abdominal injury in a motor vehicle crash. Because the patient had unstable vital signs, we performed exploratory laparotomy, which showed hemoperitoneum and active
