Abstract
|
|
|
Radial artery is the most common site which is chosen for the continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure and blood sampling in the critically ill patients. This method is regarded as a safe one though there are various complications. In
most
compliations, the clinical sequelae do not have much significance. However, serious complications have been reported including cerebral embolism, or ischemic necrosis of hand or forearm requiring amputation althougt the incidences are rare.
Post-cannulation radial artery aneurysm is not common in clinical practices. We report a case of post-cannulation radial artery aneurysm in a 23-year-old female patient undergoing mitral valvular replacement. Radial artery cathteter as indwelt
for
14
days at the same site. It should be kept in mind that aseptic and atraumatic technique must be used and the catheter must not be idwelt at one point for a long time in arterial cannulation. (Korean J Anesthesiol 1996; 620~623)
