Key Points

  • To describe a case of giant radial artery pseudoaneurysm following a transradial coronary procedure and emphasize the significance of timely intervention.
  • Case presentation of a 75-year-old male patient
  • Highlighting surgical intervention including aneurysmectomy and ligation
  • Discussion of treatment options for radial artery complications
  • Identification of a giant radial artery pseudoaneurysm with risk of rupture
  • Successful surgical treatment led to improved patient outcomes
  • Emphasizes critical need for early recognition and management of such cases

Abstract

The transradial technique is widely used in coronary procedures, showing lower mortality rates compared to the transfemoral approach in acute coronary syndrome. We present a case of a 75‐year‐old male patient with a giant radial artery pseudoaneurysm at risk of impending rupture. Surgical intervention, including aneurysmectomy and ligation of the radial artery, was performed. Treatment options, both surgical and nonsurgical, are discussed. Prompt recognition and intervention are crucial in managing such complications arising from transradial procedures. This case study underscores the importance of early surgical intervention for giant radial pseudoaneurysms to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
