ABSTRACT
The transradial approach for coronary catheterisation has gained rising popularity owing to its fewer access site complications compared with the transfemoral approach. A rare but recognisable complication of the procedure is radial artery pseudoaneurysm (PSA). We report a case of radial PSA occurring 2 h following percutaneous coronary intervention in an 85-year-old woman, which was successfully treated by ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. This non-surgical technique has recently gained rising popularity as a relatively novel modality of managing radial PSA.
