Abstract
With the increased use of endovascular procedures, a rise in the number of cases of pseudoaneurysms has been seen. They have a low incidence, being its etiology traumatic or iatrogenic. Potential complications are edema, pain, hemorrhage and ischemia of the affected limb, which can even lead to loss of the fingers.
We report a clinical case of a patient with brachial artery pseudoaneurysm after coronary angioplasty, which was resolved with Doppler ultrasound- guided puncture with thrombin injection.
