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

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. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
