Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms of the brachial artery (BAPs) are emergent diseases. Rare in the past, their incidence has recently increased due to the evolution and wide diffusion of endovascular interventions. Many treatment options are now available, and they take into consideration the size, location and pathogenesis of the iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm. Herein, we report the case of a belatedly diagnosed false aneurysm of the brachial artery in an 89-year-old patient following an accidental arterial injury during venipuncture for blood tests. A comprehensive review of the literature was performed in order to elucidate incidence, clinical details, and the results of conventional open or endovascular repair and minimally invasive treatment options for this emergent disease.

Abstract
Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms of the brachial artery (BAPs) are emergent diseases. Rare in the past, their incidence has recently increased due to the evolution and wide diffusion of endovascular interventions. Many treatment options are now available, and they take into consideration the size, location and pathogenesis of the iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm. Herein, we report the case of a belatedly diagnosed false aneurysm of the brachial artery in an 89-year-old patient following an accidental arterial injury during venipuncture for blood tests. A comprehensive review of the literature was performed in order to elucidate incidence, clinical details, and the results of conventional open or endovascular repair and minimally invasive treatment options for this emergent disease.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
