Single radial ABG puncture may cause pseudoaneurysm; case report leaves open true incidence and prevention needs.
With a reported incidence of 0.048%, radial artery pseudoaneurysm (PA) is a rare but serious complication of arterial cannulation. We report a case of PA developing after a single puncture of the right radial artery for arterial blood-gas analysis diagnosed by Doppler ultrasound in young male patient. The development of PA after puncture of radial artery for continuous blood pressure monitoring and serial blood-gas analysis has been reported in the past; however, to the best of our knowledge, there is only one case report of development of PA after a single arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis is reported in the past.

Patel et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Radial artery pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Single arterial puncture for blood-gas analysis was evaluated on Development of radial artery pseudoaneurysm. A single puncture of the right radial artery for arterial blood-gas analysis resulted in the development of a radial artery pseudoaneurysm in a young male patient.
