Abstract

|
True aneurysm of the radial artery is very rare, and the false aneurysms are more common. True aneurysms of the radial artery are usually secondary to trauma or iatrogenic injury. A 71-year-old male presented with a several year history of a left forearm-pulsating mass. He suffered from a brain infarct and had received acupuncture for his hemiplegia for the previous year. The physical examination revealed two pulsating masses on the left forearm. The left ulnar and radial arteries were palpable. The laboratory values were normal. Computerized tomography showed two 40×25 and 37×20 mm-sized saccular true aneuryms containing mural thrombosis in the left proximal radial artery with atherosclerotic change. The aneurysms were resected with reconstruction by using the cephalic vein. Distal flow was reestablished by using end-to-end anastomosis. No complications have been observed during the 4 weeks of follow-up.
