True Brachial Artery Aneurysm Following Blood Donation: A Case Report of a Rare Complication

North Hampshire Hospital, Basingstoke, UK

Accepted 24 October 2006.

Accidental arterial injury at time of blood donation is rare, but may lead to localized thrombosis and hematoma formation, and rarely, development of pseudo-aneurysm. We report the first case of true brachial artery aneurysm formation as complication of arterial injury from blood donation.
