Radial artery is suggested as a safe access for diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization.We present a 73 year old female who was suffered a radial artery pseudoaneurysm 10 days after transradial coronary angiography while under anticoagulation therapy. Prolonged ultrasound guided compression was unsuc-cessful and the patient was treated with surgical repair. We suggest careful observation after transradial cat-heterization for patients under anticoagulant therapy.
