Abstract

The authors report a case of arterial pseudoaneurysm occurring 3 months after reimplantation of the hand in contact with the radial anastomosis. This complication, related to the initial mechanism of avulsion, although nonspecific, required rapid surgical revision as only one patent artery was present.
