title: Endovascular treatment of post-traumatic pseudoaneurysms of ulnar and radial artery.
abstract: Aneurysm can develop in all arteries of the human body. Pseudoaneurysm induced by trauma is known as a rare condition in peripheral arteries. This complication is known as late sequelae of trauma. The incidence of pseudoaneurysm in upper extremities artery is less than lower extremities. Atherosclerotic aneurysms are often seen in large arteries and by aging, but pseudoaneurysm can be seen in penetrating or blunt trauma in patients of every age or every location. Delayed treatment of pseudoaneurysm leads to bleeding, venous edema at the extremities and compression on the adjacent nerve as a result of pseudoaneurysm enlargement. Early diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm is very important, because this complication can induce disabilities such as upper extremities and finger loss. Peripheral arteries pseudoaneurysm in distal locations especially in brachial artery and forearm can cause a thrombotic complication in hands and fingers.
