Hand ischemia resulting from a transradial intervention: successful management with radial artery angioplasty

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2010 Sep 1;76(3):383-6. doi: 10.1002/ccd.22460.

Abstract

We describe a case of hand ischemia resulting from transradial catheterization. This was successfully treated with angioplasty of the radial artery occlusion, but stresses the importance of a preprocedure evaluation of the dual blood supply to the hand before transradial access.
