Resumen
Introducción

Traumatismos cerrados y accesos vasculares constituyen la etiología más común de los pseudoaneurismas arteriales periféricos. La transformación de las características socioculturales de la población introduce nuevas consideraciones al respecto.

Caso clínico

Varón de 26 años, con cuadro de tres años de evolución caracterizado por tumoración, dolor en fosa cubital de extremidad superior izquierda y parestesias distales; refiere antecedente de herida por arma de fuego. Exploración física: masa pulsátil en la flexura del codo, pulso radial débil y ausencia de pulso cubital, repleción y temperatura distales disminuidas. Pruebas complementarias: radiografía simple sin lesiones óseas, aumento de densidad de partes blandas y proyectil adyacente. No se practica angiorresonancia magnética por los artefactos de la bala. Eco-Doppler: pseudoaneurisma de arteria humeral distal. Angiografía digital intravenosa de sustracción: correcta permeabilidad de arterias subclavia, humeral y radial; pseudoaneurisma de arteria cubital muy cerca de su origen, con trombosis parcial; la arteria interósea nace de la cubital, distalmente al pseudoaneurisma, y el arco palmar se forma a partir de la radial. Intervención quirúrgica: ligadura proximal y distal del tronco cubitointeróseo y resección del pseudoaneurisma; no se actúa sobre el proyectil.

Resultados

Correctos pulso radial y repleción capilar distal sin déficit motor. Control en 15 días, con herida cerrada por primera intención, pulso radial presente y mejoría de la sensación parestésica digital; cultivo preoperatorio negativo.

Conclusión

La exclusión o reparación quirúrgica de pseudoaneurismas arteriales en localizaciones accesibles constituye una alternativa factible, independientemente de su etiopatogenia.

Summary
Introduction

Closed traumatic injuries and vascular accesses are the most common causation of pseudoaneurysms in peripheral arteries. The transformation of the socio-cultural characteristics of the population introduces new perspectives on this issue.

Case report

We report the case of a 26-year-old male, who had a three-year history of clinical features characterised by tumour, pain in the cubital fossa of the left upper limb and distal paresthesias; the patient reported having suffered a previous firearm wound. Physical examination: a pulsating mass in the bend of the elbow, weak radial pulse and absence of ulnar pulse, diminished distal filling and temperature. Complementary tests: simple x-ray with no bone injuries, increased density of soft tissues and adjacent projectile. No magnetic resonance angiography was performed because of artefacts caused by the bullet. Doppler ultrasound: pseudoaneurysm of the distal brachial artery. Intravenous digital subtraction angiography: correct patency of the radial, brachial and subclavian arteries; pseudoaneurysm of the ulnar artery very close to its origin, with partial thrombosis; the interosseous artery derives from the ulnar artery, distally to the pseudoaneurysm, and the palmar arch is formed from the radial artery. Surgical intervention: proximal and distal ligation of the ulnar-interosseous trunk and resection of the pseudoaneurysm; the projectile was left untouched.

Results

Radial pulse and distal capillary filling were correct with no motor deficit. In the control visit at 15 days, the wound was seen to have closed by first intention, radial pulse was present and digital paresthetic feeling had improved; the preoperative culture was negative.

Conclusions

Surgical exclusion or repair of arterial pseudoaneurysms in accessible locations constitutes a feasible alternative, regardless of the aetiopathogenesis.
