Özet
Compared to transfemoral coronary angiography (CAG), transradial CAG has been associated with less access site complications, shorter hospitalization, better patient comfort, and
early mobilization. However, the use of radial access in CAG may also cause entry site complications. Radial pseudoaneurysm after transradial CAG is a rare complication reported in less
than 0.1% of the procedures. In this report, we present a 78-year-old patient who was diagnosed with right radial artery pseudoaneurysm by Doppler ultrasonography after transradial
CAG and treated nonsurgically.
