Radial artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) after cardiac catheterization in elderly patients is a rare complication. Clinical manifestations are pain, swelling and haematoma of the harm. The diagnosis is made through doppler ultrasonography, but the best therapeutical option is still matter of debate. Traditionally, surgical treatment has been considered the gold standard but new and less invasive strategies have been recently proposed: ultrasound-guided compression and local injection of thrombin. In this report we describe the unique case of an 84-year-old female patient who developed radial artery pseudoaneurysm after a failed radial artery access for cardiac catheterization. Finally, the pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by surgical approach as several attempts of local compression failed. We aimed also at reviewing the treatment options of RAP in elderly patients (>75 years old) and the safety/effectiveness reported in literature.

Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following abdominal wall procedures near the artery. This is a case of Inferior epigastric artery pseudoaneurysm after therapeutic paracentesis for large volume ascites caused by chronic kidney failure. The patient was operated on, and the artery was ligated.

Transradial access for cardiac catheterization is a safe and viable approach with significantly lower incidence of major access-related complications compared with the transfemoral approach. As this form of access is getting wider acceptance among interventional cardiologists, awareness of its complications is of vital importance. Asymptomatic radial artery occlusion, non-occlusive radial artery injury and radial artery spasm are commonly reported complication of this approach. Symptomatic radial arterial occlusion, pseudoaneurysm and radial artery perforation are rarely reported complications of transradial approach. Early identification of these uncommon complications and their urgent management is of significant importance. We present the case of an 80-year-old lady who developed pseudoaneurysm a week after transradial cardiac catheterization managed with surgical excision with no long-term sequela.
