TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery after a bicycle fall JO - Vascular and endovascular surgery A1 - Ratschiller, Thomas A1 - Müller, Hannes A1 - Schachner, Thomas A1 - Zierer, Andreas SP - 395 EP - 397 VL - 52 IS - 5 N2 - We report a case of a 64-year-old man who developed a painful pulsatile mass in the distal forearm after a bicycle fall with fracture of the wrist. Ultrasonography confirmed a 2.5-cm large pseudoaneurysm of the radial artery. The patient underwent surgical exploration. The pseudoaneurysm was resected and the defect in the arterial wall was reconstructed with an autologous saphenous vein patch. We suggest that the double arterial supply of the hand should be preserved whenever possible.
