Abstract :
Coronary angiography and angioplasty via the radial route has rapidly gained popularity in
recent years. This technique offers almost all femoral route access benefits but with a reduction
in minor as well as life-threatening vascular access site complications. However, complications
like hematoma, bleeding, arteriovenous fistula, and perforation of the radial artery, total or
partial occlusion of the radial artery still exists. One unique complication that has been reported
after this procedure is pain in the arm and forearm regions. We describe a 61-year-old male
patient with severe arm pain appearing two days after the procedure.
