Abstract:
Pseudoaneurysms may occur in the groin after catheterization of the femoral artery but may also occur in arteriovenous shunting for dialysis after placement of indwelling catheters or after direct trauma to an artery. We report a unique cause of radial artery pseudoaneurysm at the wrist related to a cat bite sustained by an elderly woman. The patient underwent successful operative repair of the aneurysm, with ligation of the radial artery.

Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Aneurysm I: Introduction
Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
The radius has a nail-shaped head, and a short...
