- Abstract
Percutaneous radial arterial cannulation is routinely used in cardiac surgery and in hemodynamic monitoring in intensive care units. As for coronarography, it is now considered superior to femoral artery access as it has lesser vascular complications. Nevertheless, this procedure can have many consequences, though aneurysm is an exceptional one. Its occurrence is highly correlated with multiple risk factors such as advanced age, longer duration of catheterization, hospitalization duration, and infection with Staphylococcus aureus. We report an uncommon case of radial artery aneurysm following coronarography in hemodialysis patient for which he underwent successful surgery.
